Conway's Game Of Life - Now in 3D

Explaination

I wanted to make Conway's game of life, but in 3D. I went about it using Scriptable Objects and a 3D array for it.

Functionality

• The game rule is described by a ScriptableObject, allowing you to quickly swap one simulation for another.
• You can add a CellAttribute ScriptableObject to a cell to override the rules for it to make it invulnerable.

Conclusion

You need alot of compute power to run a larger version, as the 3 dimensions cubes the amount of cells. But regardless I am satisfied with how it turned out.

Possible Improvements

• Switch from 3D array to a longer 1D array.
• Use compute Shader to faster compute the states.
