Re: Life as art

Just catching up with Bill Collen on his Ruins Blog. Has an excellent post about the "Renaissance" of Omaha. He would know because he was born, raised and spent his entire life in Omaha. I lived in Omaha in 2012 and it was a dump (especially North O). Seriously, a lot of it seemed like a ghost town ...

Re: Life-Related Dreams



Considering the logo's in black and white, it may actually be possible to find that.

I feel the idea of combining the Randomness and Chaos of CGoL with the Order and Stability of MahJong will bear fruit.

Meanwhile Xerox seems to be doing O.K.; just remember it is not my plan because WE did not get Control.

Re: otismo and ChatGPT

I want to combine CGoL and MahJong

That’s a creative mashup—but it won’t work as a straight overlay. Conway's Game of Life is about emergence over time, while Mahjong is about matching static pieces. You need a bridge mechanic that respects both.

Here are a few designs that actually make the combo ...

The game should be expandable.
