Conway's Snowflake

Live Demo

Check out the live demo. Refresh the page to generate a new world.

Generates symmetrical Conway's Game of Life universes with torus typologies.

Made using Rust 🦀 and WebAssembly 🕸 and modified to optimize rendering performance.

Universes are horizontally and vertically symmetrical throughout the simulation.

The largest optimization was to render using WebAssembly.

Each cell is represented as a single pixel. Black is an alive cell and white is a dead cell.

The universe is rendered it into an Uint8ClampedArray and interpreted as ImageData. This ImageData is then displayed onto a canvas using putImageData().

Run wasm-pack build inside project dictionary
Run npm install inside www folder
Finally run npm run start inside www and visit http://localhost:8080 to see the results
