Conway’s Game of Life is a type of computer simulation known as a cellular automaton (automaton is the singular form, automata the plural.) Cellular automata are essentially mathematical models of complex systems important to many fields of study including mathematics, biology, chemistry and physics.
The “game” was originally devised by British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. Conway was building upon work done in the 1940s by Hungarian-American mathematician John Von Neumann. Von Neumann was attempting to modal a type of machine that could make copies of its self (or self-replicate) and he eventually found such a machine could be represented by a 2 dimensional array of cells.
In 1970 Conway took this concept and radically simplified the rules to produce his “Game of Life.” In October of 1970 Conway’s game was first popularized through Martin Gardner’s Mathematical Games column in Scientific American magazine and immediately began receiving much attention. Its success in the ‘70s had in large part to do with the availability of computers to run the simulations (something Von Neumann didn’t have.)
