ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Golly (program)

Golly is a program for exploring patterns in mathematics. It can be used to make pictures, called patterns, by placing color pixels on a grid. These patterns can show us things about math, like how shapes move and grow with each step. You can change the rules of the game to see how the pattern changes. You can also use it to see very complex patterns that are hard to see with just our eyes. It's a great way to learn more about math and have fun with it at the same time!
