A Two-Player Game of Life
We present a new extension of Conway's game of life for two players, which we
call p2life. P2life allows one of two types of token, black or white, to
inhabit a cell, and adds competitive elements into the birth and survival rules
of the original game. We solve the mean-field equation for p2life and determine
by simulation that the asymptotic density of p2life approaches 0.0362.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
