I'm new here, and posting this because I've recently fell in love with the game of life. I've coded a little seed generator to generate a .cells file from a seed. Of course inputting a seed is optional, and I've included a random string generator that will generate a random seed!
Maybe this could be of use to some of you, I've found it rather fun to play with.
I'm Excited to be a part of the community and maybe see some fun seeds!
Thanks for having me!
I've also included a .cells file that I've found from this generator that seed is my secret!
It's a windows console application that generates seeds within the \GOL\Generated Cells\{seed}.cells

Re: Seed Generator for Conway's Game of Life
Hello, and welcome to the server!
The general way to run the game of life (at least on this forum) is to use either golly or lifeviewer, and they both have inbuilt random seed generators.
click on the thing on the right saying "show in lifeviewer"
Shift+5 in lifeviewer, Ctrl+5 in golly.

Code: Select all
x = 8, y = 7, rule = B3/S23

That's a great point! Thanks for sharing.
My above file is more of the opposite way of creating your own seeds.
Instead of having to randomly generate them, you can input a phrase or a name or anything you like to get a file from the seed you typed in.
