Abstract: The density and activity (defined as the average between the rate of fertility and the rate of mortality) for all games similar to the “game of life” has been calculated after 1000 time steps in a 100 × 100 lattice. Mean-field arguments that describe some global features are presented. A morphological description for many games resembling shapes found in nature is given.
