Golly is a tool for the simulation of cellular automata. It is free open-source software written by Andrew Trevorrow and Tomas Rokicki;[1] it runs on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Windows, OS X, iOS, and Android, and can be scripted using Perl or Python. It includes a hashlife algorithm that can simulate the behavior of very large sparse patterns in Conway's Game of Life such as Paul Rendell's Life universal Turing machine,[2] and that is fast enough to simulate some patterns for 232 or more time units.[3] It also includes a large library of predefined patterns in Life and other rules.[4]
