Golly is a tool for the simulation of cellular automata. It is free open-source software written by Andrew Trevorrow and Tomas Rokicki;[3] it can be scripted using Lua[1] or Python. It includes a hashlife algorithm that can simulate the behavior of very large structured or repetitive patterns such as Paul Rendell's Life universal Turing machine,[4] and that is fast enough to simulate some patterns for 232 or more time units.[5] It also includes a large library of predefined patterns in Conway's Game of Life and other rules.[6]
