Easy to solve with CSS, but missing the point I guess.

From the code: // Editing the css on this line is a cheap and dirty way to 'solve' the problem without really thining about it [sic]

But sometimes the best way to do something is to do nothing:

/* Turning your world upside down */ #world{-webkit-transform: ScaleY(-1);}

This reminds me of my physics days at the City College of NY! Awesome puzzle and a cool way to learn about cellular automata...

LOL!

The css answer is too simple. The real answer is equally as simple but requires a basic understanding of what is going on.

Great puzzle, easy workaround is to change top, to bottom in generated div-s, but it is much more fun, to find proper solution

Does not seem to work in Firefox but works in Chrome. Looks like "border-radius" is not recognized in the CSS.

Looks okay in my Firefox.
