→"Color Life"
In addition to the rules that determine whether a cell is alive or vacant, other factors specify the color of each living cell in TI "Color Life." The color of each new cell that's born is an average of the colors of its three parent cells. Thus this activity simulates the laws of genetic inheritance. Watch how the colors merge and change from generation to generation.
The computer tests every cell on the screen each generation according to these rules. It then changes the pattern you see on the screen - all in only four seconds! It's fascinating (and rather addictive!) to watch the patterns develop on the screen. (''Note:'' You may be interested in reading more about this game and its characteristics. A selected bibliography is included at the end of this manual for your convenience.)
