A Musical Life - Project Submission for "Creative Programming for Digital Media & Mobile Apps"

A Musical Life

A Colorful Life blends the graphical elements of SonicPainter and John Conway's Game of Life ((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life)) to produce a fun and intriguing form of entertainment.

User interaction is rather intuitive:
  1. Users "give life" to cells by dragging the mouse over them.
  2. Once the mouse is released, the Game of Life plays on automatically
  3. The speed of the game can be changed by moving the mouse left (slower) and right (faster).
Video below shows a sample session of A Musical Life.
[Update: Go to http://www.firexis.com/processing/a_musical_life/ for an interactive version without the music - for some reason Javascript version kills the audio.]



Next on todo list is to publish the Javascript version so users can interact with it. -- Done!
Get the code from https://github.com/hoekit/a-musical-life.
