For a minesweeper MMO, you can try MineSweeper For Twitch [1]

The first Twitch Plays you can play with... your mouse!

We can go up to 10k cells max, but you can sweep mines with friends.

Here is our Twitch Plays implementation: https://www.twitch.tv/bzh314

It supports RLEs [1] so you can quickly create some known shapes or test your own.

Crash course on RLEs:

b=dead, o=alive, $=new line

This is the RLE of xkcd's tribute to John Conway [2]:

2b3o$2bobo$2bobo$3bo$ob3o$bobobo$3bo2bo$2bobo$2bobo!

You can discover plenty of patterns with their RLEs on the Life Wiki [3]

Twitch Plays Conway's Game Of Life has a database of hundreds of patterns.

To learn patterns here's a 40-minute video you can quickly go through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4XgALyX6w8

For instance you can make a Sir Robin [4] at the origin this way:

!SirRobin 0.0

or the xkcd pattern:

!xkcd 0.0

We also added our own twist, with color rules that lead to the Epic Toy Store Pixel Art [5] and Epic Masterpiece Pixel Art Decoration [6]

Here is the RLE to reproduce the xkcd pattern in GOL implementations that support Run Length Encoded [1] (b=dead, o=alive, $=new line):

2b3o$2bobo$2bobo$3bo$ob3o$bobobo$3bo2bo$2bobo$2bobo!

In Twitch Plays Conway's Game Of Life [2] you can place Dr. Conway like so:

!rle 2b3o$2bobo$2bobo$3bo$ob3o$bobobo$3bo2bo$2bobo$2bobo! -4,-40

or use the shortcut command:

!xkcd -4,-40

Here is a short clip of what it looks like: https://www.twitch.tv/bzh314/clip/TardyGleamingQuailKeepo

Twitch Plays Conway's Game Of Life is back, in memory of John Conway [1]

It's a multiplayer implementation you play through the Twitch chat by sending commands (!ON, !OFF, !RLE, !HELP, ...).

The list of commands and help: [2]

You can use/learn more complex patterns with RLEs (Run Length Encoded), where a "o" means alive, "b" means dead and "$" is carriage return.

Example of RLE command for a glider: !rle bob$2bo$3o! 0.0 # Create a glider at coordinates 0,0

TPCGOL has a database of 446 patterns (Sir Robin, Gosper Glider Gun, ..), so the equivalent command for the glider above is:

!glider 0.0

A slideshow of all 446 patterns (still lifes, oscillators, guns and spaceships) is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4XgALyX6w8

You can find more patterns on the Conway Life wiki [3]

There's also a Battle Royale mode you can start with !PLAY [4]

In Battle Royale mode, the rules are similar to Fortnite: join a game with !PLAY, !THANK the bus driver, and try to be the last one to have cells alive as the storm shrinks.

RIP John Conway
