The game "Life" Conway in a continuous environment

German scientist Stefan Raffler created an interesting modification of "Life" - a cellular automaton, invented in 1970 by John Conway, in which instead of a discrete rectangular grid, life develops in a continuous environment. The “cages” in it are shaped like disks, gliders can fly in any direction and lead round dances - it turns out to be a completely mesmerizing picture.



Here is a slideshow with a brief description of the algorithm, a document with a deeper immersion in details and source codes .
