Mobile Cellular Automata

As a first project with Mobile Processing, I’ve written a really simple implementation of Conway’s Game of Life for Java (J2ME) mobile phones.

This is an extremely scruffy alpha version hacked together in a couple of hours, but it works. The initial configuration is a Gosper Glider Gun. You can pause the simulation using the softkey, and then use the arrow keys on the keypad to move a “cursor” around. Click the main select button to flip the cell under the cursor from on to off and back again. Then press the Resume softkey to start running again.

Download the .jar file here.
(either click this link with your phone’s browser or download on your computer and send to your phone).

Thanks to Nigel Crawley (who I met at BarCampBrighton2) for the inspiration!
