About this application

GoL Screensaver is an Android screensaver based on Conway's Game of Life, the cellular automaton in which simple grid rules create changing patterns over time. It is published by Harold Martin and distributed under the MIT license.

The application is made for Onyx Boox devices, so its purpose is narrower than that of a general Android live wallpaper or screensaver. It displays evolving Game of Life patterns when the device uses its screensaver function. This makes it suitable for users who want a minimal, rule-based visual display on supported Boox hardware rather than a configurable media or photo slideshow.
