I have made this map with Golly, Photoshop, Pyspade editor & Voxed. It's based on the famous "Game of Life".
It can be some kind of alien forest... (alien/austronaut skins & mods would be nice)
This map is made for everyone (Intel runners, Snipers, Builders even griefers) and can be played CTF or TC.
It's my first map so let me know what you think. Map txt file is Standard. Thanks for reading.

The Game Of Life is pretty neat. All those patterns... I've used Golly before once or twice...

Maybe include bigger pictures (helps me see it better so that me want to download it!) but it looks pretty awesome. May I ask how Golly was involved? Did you just run a random simulation?

Hi Falk3n,
For this map, I have run a 50% black & white noise pattern with the Conway's rule (known as "life") to a hundred steps in order to let the cellular automata organize himself. From then, i have copy the 63 next frames from Golly into 63 layers in Photoshop. After coloring and cleaning each layer, i have paste them into Pyspades editor. Of course, everything is 512x512.
Here is some pics of maps made with other rules:

- Brian's Brain rule: (stairs, walls, towers)

- Daemon's rule (caves)

You can also do nice things with replicators like strange pyramids or buildings. If you want symetrical maps, just start with a symetrical pattern.

Is it the answer you expected ? Forgive my poor english :)

Fascinating! I wonder if hompy or someone could create a cellular automata program like 'Life' for Ace of Spades. Anyways, really interesting idea.

Yea, that's perfect! Awesome idea to use Conway's Game Of Life to create maps.
