HTML5 Game of Life in 24-bit RGB

In plain words

Close RGB Of Life is an interactive demonstration of Conway's Game of Life rendered across 24-bit RGB color values. The tool runs 24 simultaneous Game of Life simulations simultaneously, with each bit in the RGB color space representing a separate game. Cells appear as colored squares on a grid, where the color itself encodes the state of multiple Game of Life instances. The JavaScript source is available for inspection, making it useful for programmers interested in cellular automata and creative coding implementations.

From the sources

This page demonstrates Conway's Game of Life in 24 bit RGB. There are actually 24 simultaneous "games of life" being played on the above board, one for each bit in a 24 bit RGB color value that is the background of the square. However, since we naturally think of white as the "dead" color and black as the "alive" color, the bits have been flipped in this demonstration so that 0 represents alive and 1 represents dead. Thus #fff, which is white, represents a cell that is completely dead, even though all of the bits are "on". Feel free to browse the JavaScript source of this demonstration. It makes heavy use of HTML5 canvas element and some use of the jQuery JavaScript library. The source code…from rgb.0-z-0.com
