Artificial-life: A simple (300 lines of code) reproduction of Computational Life
SMRTR summary
A GitHub project recreates computational life research using just 300 lines of code, simulating how self-replicating programs emerge from simple interactions. The simulation starts with randomly initialized Brainfuck-like programs on a 240x135 grid that can modify themselves through neighboring interactions and mutations. Self-replicating programs spontaneously develop and spread across the grid, with more efficient replicators eventually overtaking less efficient ones, demonstrating evolutionary principles in computational systems.
