The results of this experiment are not exactly close to my target as you can see, but I thought it was worth a blog post anyway. There was this rough idea I’ve been thinking about in Conway’s Game of Life for a really long time.
I wonder if it's possible to use some kind of stochastic algorithm that gives you an initial state which forms legible text after many cycles.— yakinavault (@yakinavault) August 7, 2020
I came across an article of the same title by Kevin Galligan recently and I thought I could do something similar using a different approach. What if instead of using SAT Solvers, I use some kind of heuristic algorithm that could somehow “program” a large world of Game of Life to display an image after a few generations?
