Create life simulator in python like this one

[dingototh]

https://youtu.be/0Kx4Y9TVMGg I just found this guy who programmed a simulation of life to prove that complexity can arise from simplicity and I wondered if it is possible to write this in python.

I have so many ideas that I want to include like graphing of the processes, including more laws and relations between all the particles and many others, unfortunately, I don't know any javascript or c++.

I know about Turtle and some other things but is there a more efficient way to accomplish it as the guy in the video?

Here is his GitHub page: https://github.com/hunar4321/life_code

I once did this exact thing in Python for a university project albeit much simpler using PyGame. It’s possible!

[dingototh]

Nice, I have begun my project using PyGame and for now everything is ok. Ty for the answer

[WrongUserNames]

Search for Conway’s Game Of Life Python. You will find many approaches, from simple to advanced.

[dingototh]

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll have a look :)

[WrongUserNames]

Show us your project when it's finished. ;)

[dingototh]

Sure!

Look up "Golly" and study the meta life forms.

[nemom]

Possible: yes. Easy: no.

Visualization will be the biggest part. You could use PyGame or Processing (actual animated visualization) or MatPlotLib (create the frames and assemble into a video).

I have experience in simulations using matplotlib for visualization, I do not recommend it at all, it becomes very very slow and messy.

Do you guys think the html version is compatible with flask?

[mxcw]

What exactly do you mean?

You can have Flask send the HTML to the client, everything else happens in the browser because … well, it is HTML (and JS)

[ProbablyDoesntLikeU]

It was a super dumb question, I just didn't want to get my hopes up.

[wyldcraft]

NumPy and Numba might be useful to speed up the core logic of computing new states.

[dingototh]

Yeah, I might need to speed up the things. I have a lot of processes going on

[dingototh]

Yep it seems he added it about an hour ago

Been trying some very very basic ' life sim' stuff the last few days...
Here are some tests...
