In 2023, applicants were tasked with creating a Swift Playgrounds app project on the topic of your choice to showcase their passion for coding. Here’s how Sabesh describes his winning submission.

My submission is a visualisation of John Conway's Game of Life, which demonstrates Cellular Automata in the form of a zero player game. The initial configuration is the only thing that determines the simulation. I made use of SwiftUI and Combine to create the UI and the core logic behind the game. Apart from showcasing various known examples, there is also a screen that lets user fill in the initial configuration and try out different patterns!
