Conway’s Game of Life via eInk display and solar power #ESP32 #Solar #Gaming
David Hamp-Gonsalves has made an e-ink based, solar powered version of the famous Conway’s Game of Life.
Typically these celular automations run at whatever speed our eyes find to be visually pleasing but I wanted to see what a version that reflected the real worlds energy patterns would be like.
In my version the world and its cellular inhabitants must survive low power peroids each night along with reduced power peroids when its rainy or snowy. They also can only reproduce with any regularity in the brightest parts of a summers day reflecting our own worlds patterns.
The project uses an ESP32 and an e-Ink display. The battery comes from a vape pen.
