Hi All,

Another variation of Conway's Game of Life is to make it multi-player. There are a couple of ways to go about it. For example consider what to do when generating a new cell... say you have player #1 and player #9 and you generate a new cell... do you make it a #1 or #9 ??? What about if there are 3 different players for the neighbours (I think 3 is the required number for a new cell)... what then. You could always make the new life cell the average of the player numbers. But of course if you only have player #1 and player #9 playing then you'll probably generate a new player number... say, player #3.

At one stage, I think maybe using Turbo Pascal, I had a rough version of multi-player life working. I may have to resurrect it... or just recreate it.
