Is the Game of Life in fact a game?

  • Yes

  • No

  • Not known

  • Cannot be Determined

Answer

The answer is no. The Game of Life is not a game in the traditional sense, as it lacks elements such as competition, winning and losing, or a definitive set of rules. Instead, it is a cellular automaton that simulates the development and interactions of organisms in a simplified virtual world.
