Discover the beauty of patterns.
PatternLab is a creative sandbox for exploring cellular automata — simple rules that give rise to endless complexity. Inspired by Conway’s Game of Life, PatternLab lets you draw, experiment, and watch living patterns unfold in real time.
Whether you’re curious about math, love puzzles, or just want to relax and watch mesmerizing shapes evolve, PatternLab makes science playful and accessible.
Features:
• Multiple rule sets: Conway, Seeds, Maze, Day & Night
• Pre-built patterns: Glider, Blinker, Pulsar, and more
• Custom drawing tools to create your own designs
• Adjustable grid size and simulation speed
• Color themes including high contrast & accessibility modes
• Undo/redo support for fast experimentation
Why you’ll love it:
• Relax and watch infinite patterns evolve
• Spark creativity with mathematical art
• Learn about complex systems in a hands-on way
PatternLab is perfect for students, creators, and anyone who enjoys interactive experiments. Dive in, play with rules, and see how small changes create surprising results.
