I'm a 3rd year Maths student at Edinburgh University, but I spend most of
my time creating cool software or electronics projects, and getting involved
with organising society events. That or writing puzzles.
There are plenty of hidden features on this website, so please do have a look around!
What's going on in the background?
The background is currently running a simulation of Conway's Game of Life!
The screen is split into cells, and updated every
based on simple rules.
Here's a button to regenerate the background:
And here's what it looks like if you change those rules slightly:
Game of Life
Star Wars
Brian's Brain
Brain 6
Rake
Bombers
SediMental
There's plenty more happening on this site than it seems, so do check out the

What is this Conway's Game of Life guff all about?
It's an example of a cellular automaton.
Cellular automata are simple rules-based simulations in which cells can be alive
or dead, and on each
'tick' of the simulation a cell decides whether it stays alive, dead, or switches
between states based on what its neighbours are doing.

Colour changer:
Oh but this is only just the beginning...
For starters,
pauses the simulation and starts a game of minesweeper based on where the
alive cells were.
... or
starts a snake game you can control!
