I still can't get over how much interest the game of life maintains since it's invention. It might just be my favorite "field" of CS at this point. It's such a satisfying intersection of maths, coding, "biology", and "biological engineering".

A transistor is a simple piece of electronic, when combined in billions, it supports the incredible information transformation we see today.

#25I knew GoL was turing complete so theoretically this should be possible. I just couldn't even imagine imagining wanting to try. So this is rather impressive.
I’ve got to imagine there’s some sort of GoL compiler that takes more writable code and compiles it to a board state, given we know about a whole set of machines that do specific things (gates and whatnot)

#26Not so exciting but still pretty cool: Conways Game of Life in a few lines of otus lisp* https://github.com/yuriy-chumak/ol/blob/master/samples/Conve... * otus lisp is a descendant of owl lisp ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utOVF0U7Zd8 ) with a nice ffi - http://yuriy-chumak.github.io/ol/
I wonder when someone will code GoL inside GoL
