Show HN: Conway's Game of Life, but as a div full of Braille characters

This is nifty.<p>When I was in art school for graphic design, we were assigned a typography project to create a series of art pieces that used only &quot;found typography&quot;, i.e. not fonts on your computer but, rather, type lifted from photographs of lettering in the wild.<p>As part of my designs, I incorporated Braille found in an elevator. The typography professor rejected this, leading to a 30 minute class discussion around whether or not Braille was a form of typography. In his opinion, it wasn&#x27;t, and he failed me on the assignment. I still think I was right, and it&#x27;s one of my favorite design pieces of my own to this day.

As a blind person I can confirm that the braille does not, in fact, say anything in particular. It&#x27;d be an amusing experiment to sneak in a couple easter eggs into this that spell out actual words ;)

Using Braille characters as a 2D textual rendering output is a neat idea. Might come in handy for charting on the command line.

Great work!<p>Is the seed random? No matter how often I refresh it reaches a “dead” state after a few epochs only.

As a blind person, I find it quite sad that the most common use of Unicode Braille these days is to make terminal apps <i>less</i> accessible to the people Braille was originally intended for.
