Made with ChatGPT, this takes a cubemap, makes each face a grid, then applies Conway’s game of life to each face and lets the faces interact at the edges.
Has some fun features like the ability to randomize the rules.
Full project attached.

@UberGoober - Wow, that project is truly awesome, especially the ability to edit the map in real time and the sphere movement is real smooth.
Thanks for sharing.

That’s a cool idea, always love GoL or cellular automata stuff in general!

I am surprised and pleased and a little disturbed, sure, at how much help chatGPT was here. Written in Codea on my iPhone with (not by) chatGPT. I’ve tried to write evolution simulators in Codea before and couldn’t get it to track over 200 creatures without massive slowdown. Thanks to chatGPT helping me code things I could conceptualize but not implement, this now handles over 3000 organisms without substantial slowdown and can even do over…
If you like that you may enjoy Color Critters.
I posted a video about it on YouTube and the algorithm showed it to a bunch of cellular automata enthusiasts who liked it.
