Nice color propagation! I enjoyed the different base shapes (triangle, hexagon, etc.). I had experimented with the hexagonal version in Three.js here: <a href="https://onivers.com/hexalife/" rel="nofollow">https://onivers.com/hexalife/</a>
tweaking the rules to explore interesting patterns.
If you like game of life watch "backwards game of life" video by Alpha Phoenix, definitely my favorite video of 2024: <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g8pjrVbdafY" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g8pjrVbdafY</a>
A year ago I made a version I call "Chromacline". Multiple populations of different colors duke it out. My implementation runs it on computers and phones without needing a browser.<p><a href="https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel/devlog/651711/new-version-after-9-days" rel="nofollow">https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel/devlog/651711/new-version-...</a>
This is incredibly cool! If you are looking for something to do next, try replicating the following quantum game of life and may be try different rules with quantum mechnanics:

A more entertaining would be a game of real life:<p>T' = -c, a citizen in this game of life has an amount of life T that evaporates at a more or less constant pace, and<p>T' = gT, the amount of life T grows exponentially by absorbing life from its neighbors with a force proportional to its greed g and its already accumulated weight T.
I like how rendering positioning gives the illusion of there being more shape types than there really are, as the three triangles are the same and circle and hexagon are the same. I'm sure it's been done before but I've never seen it, so nice job
Yesterday I was playing with Copilot, asking it to write a python implementation of the game of life. Something I did a long time and it took me about an hour.<p>The first several attempts it would delete it and say identical to public code. Until I finally asked it to make a unique implementation that's not public code.<p>It took about a minute.
