In memory of John Horton Conway, 1937-2020. Golly is an open source, cross-platform application for exploring Conway's Game of Life and many other types of cellular automata.

Mar 31, 2025 · A cross-platform application for exploring Conway's Game of Life and many other types of cellular automata. Features Bounded or unbounded universes with up to 256 states.

Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton that is played on a 2D square grid. Each square (or "cell") on the grid can be either alive or dead, and they evolve according to the following rules: Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies (referred to as underpopulation).

Golly, first released July, 2005, is a free, open-source, cross-platform tool for simulating Conway's Game of Life that was written by Andrew Trevorrow and Tomas Rokicki, with contributions by Dave Greene, Jason Summers, Tim Hutton, Maks Verver, Robert Munafo, Chris Rowett and Dongook Lee, collectively known as the Golly Gang.
