make one of those things where at the top it diagnoly into 2 and then those 2 each have one square directly beneath them and then it goes diagnoly down again back into one. now put another square in the lower spot where it touches 5 at once. wait until it completly stablizes and place another square in the lower spot of the lowest thing-a-ma-jig so it touchesfive of them at once and then play it and just watch. if you do it right you can see faces

Hit the random button. It's much better than wasting your time filling all the boxes. It will go forever with crazy designs. I just did one that didn't stabilize into certain shapes or patterns until after over 2000 steps

John Conway is a mathematician above many others, intelligent and able to make a game out of a simple mathematical pattern. Wow!

Try it!

Cool program, now you just need to come up with a way to really make a game out of it. I don't know, maybe some kind of sim managament type system?

Yes! i spent 10 minutes filling up every square thinking something awesome would happen and they all died. LIKE THIS SO PEOPLE DON'T WASTE THEIR TIME!

In genetics, to prevent infinite loops there can be a maximum allowed side step. You should also implement this feature and take an action when those side steps are reached.

if you want a checker board draw horizontal lines on every second line and then draw vertical lines (without lifting mouse) on every second line. If some horizontal lines are the same in a column draw over one of them (preferably the middle one if there is one (dont lift mouse)) and if and vertical lines are the same in a row draw over one.

I dont really understand the point of this game but its great if you want to make a mosaic. Wonder what happens if you click start on a mosaic...

if you press start before putting cells on the thing, then start draging your mouse around it, youre lighting up the board LAWLZ

1st cell: oh no, there's more than three neighboring cells! i'll just die then.
(cell dies)
2nd cell: yay! 1st cell died, i get to stay alive then!
3rd cell: wierd...

Good idea: make an L-shape (like in tetris) but put annother cell diagonally to the short end, facing inward. It will crawl accross the screen for ever. Not very interesting. But what if you make 2?

I'm not a nazi but if you draw a suashticka (big as you can) it looks amazing at first.. if you draw a little on its kinda cool too

lol if you put them all the way verticle and horizontal they start dancing but eventually gets tired and forms into little packs of 4 that dont move

Uhh... this may sound stupid, but I can't see any buttons either, just the screen of cells. I'm playing in Firefox, Windows XP. Does that have anything to do with it?

I spent forever making a checkerboard design thinking i would get some crazy animation but they all die instantly =/ but by far the best design is a line on each border and just enjoy the show ^^
