During this time at home I want to Learn/Use Python in Rhino/Grasshopper to create “Loop” like Life of Convey.
It’s my first time using Python I watched a lot of video on YouTube and course on Scribbs but I feel very dumb watching my Rhino.Python editing and trying to do a True/False test. I definitely need some help
If you guys have some time to share with me your knowledge I would appreciate it
My final work / experimentation consist to create a “Grid” 50x50 filled by square 1x1 and them put predetermining square the grid automatically like the game of life.
At the moment I am trying to make the grid work and then put manually a square on it to see if the area outside the square “empty” are full of TextTag “0” and inside the square full of TextTag “1”
If you want to learn Python, I highly recommend the free Codecademy interactive course. It should cover the basics pretty well and you can comb through it in a couple of days, if you’re motivated.
The Game of Life has been implemented by a lot of people already in all sorts of ways:
Processing version by the godfather of creative coding Daniel Shiffman
If you understand how the Game of Life works, you’ll also understand how to feed it a predefined initial state of alive and dead cells (i.e. 0 and 1).
You could use @laurent_delrieu’s approach to randomly define the initial state of the Game of Life (the starting game board).
Here’s a rough, quick Python translation of what Laurent did in C#.
