Classic Sphere Controls

  • Start / Pause: runs or pauses the Conway simulation.
  • Step: advances exactly one generation so you can inspect pattern changes.
  • Pattern: chooses the starting seed placed on the sphere.
  • Apply Pattern: clears the grid and places the selected seed.
  • Grid Size: controls the number of cells. Larger grids create richer detail but require more rendering work.
  • Speed: controls how quickly generations advance.
  • Ghost Trail: keeps recently dead cells visible as fading traces so motion feels smoother.
  • Orbit: turns the automatic cinematic camera movement on or off.
