Pretty neat. Kudos! I feel that the text should be a different color than the pixels. Makes it hard to read.

You can check out some of the other more mature cellular automata if your'e interested. There's algorithms to help the simulation go faster (I don't know their names off the top of my head), as well as different kinds of automata rules, and ones that involve color as another dimension.

If you haven't before, check out Stephen Wolfram's "A new kind of science", and he has different kinds of automata in there.

Thank you!

You're right. If I get to it, it'll be fixed in the next version.

I am interested. In fact, I have been interested for over two and a half year. And I do know some variations. Even invented some simple ones myself

You mean Hashlife? Because it sounds rather hard to implement, as opposed to the rather naive simple approach from the Lua examples.

I haven't, so thanks for telling me .

The standard Lua VM is incredibly slow for this sort of thing
