Twitch Plays Conway's Game of Life [1] is a multiplayer implementation of Conway's Game of Life [2]<p>In Twitch Plays Conway's Game of Life, you play by typing commands in the Twitch chat, like in Twitch Plays Pokémon [3]<p>The basic !ON command turns on cells. The !RLE command lets you enter Run Length Encoded [4] strings to make more complex patterns. You can browse patterns on the Conway Life wiki [5]<p>A database of 446 patterns (Sir Robin, Gosper Glider Gun, ..) is available with the !PATTERN command, and allows you to make patterns directly from their names (Example: !GLIDER 0,0 # Makes a Glider at the origin)<p>A slideshow of all 446 patterns (still lifes, oscillators, guns and spaceships) is available here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4XgALyX6w8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4XgALyX6w8</a><p>There are Youtube [6] and Twitch [7] videos to learn cool patterns and how to use the commands.<p>TPCGOL has two modes: Sandbox and Battle Royale.<p>In Sandbox, you create what you want, without any real competition, although it's fun to own the board (a player got 99% ownership for a single generation).<p>In Battle Royale mode, the rules are similar to Fortnite: join a game with !PLAY, !THANK the bus driver, and try to be the last one to have cells alive as the storm shrinks.<p>TPCGOL is built with Unity3D's latest upcoming features: Entity Component System (ECS), Burst Compiler and C# Job System<p>Help for all the commands (except the mystery command yet to be discovered ;-) is at <a href="https://bzh314.com/twitch_plays_conway_game_of_life/" rel="nofollow">https://bzh314.com/twitch_plays_conway_game_of_life/</a><p>Want to make my Life?
