Abstract

The Game of Life gained widespread interest due to its properties and its implications on fields such as biology, mathematics, and computer science. Hyperbolic geometry, on the other hand, is a type of geometry in which tilings are less restrictive than its Euclidean counterpart. Using the hyperbolic plane also provides other benefits, such as solving problems in less time. In this paper, we discovered still lifes and oscillators to add to the existing limited body of knowledge. We also noted the attributes of these patterns and formulated some proofs based on these patterns and their properties.
