  1. 3D Game of Life Ben Aksoy Ray Navarette Daniel Tashjian Geoffrey Wong

  2. Project • Conway’s Game of Life • 2D Cellular Automaton • Bring into 3D • Find a useful application http://code.google.com/p/3dgameoflife/wiki/Background

  3. Our Approach • 3D Universe • Aging • Customizable Rules

  4. Community • Community: 4 members • Model: Utility-Oriented, Small group of developers • Face-to-face meetings • E-mail

  5. Tools • VTK • Visual Studio • Google Code • Subversion • 7-Zip • Mailing List http://code.google.com/p/3dgameoflife/wiki/Tools

  6. How to get involved • Mailing list • Read the Wiki • Learn VTK • Talk to the contributors http://code.google.com/p/3dgameoflife/wiki/HowToGetInvolved

  7. First Attempt • Simple Console Application • Printed number of living cells • Spherical Cell Representation • ~ 1 frame / 20 seconds

  8. Working Prototype • Small cells • Fast • Colorful • Limited Depth Perception

  9. This is nice but… • Cellular Automata Applications • Biological Simulations • Cryptography • Image Processing

  10. Image Filtering From this noisy image… to this clean one!

  11. What Worked • Project up and running • Achieved our main goal • Making progress on image filter • Gained great experience with VTK

  12. Problems • Lack of communication • Roles • Expectations • No governing structure • Leadership • Submission guidelines • Quality assurance
