I wonder what the smallest molecules/things are that could be used to make a real game of life? Could you do it with bacteria? Surely not viruses or amino acids?

The longest-running evolution experiment uses bacteria and it has been running for more than 30 years. There's a Veritasium video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4sLAQvEH-M

It looks quite different on mobile here (both Chrome and Firefox) than on desktop. It's way better on desktop, on mobile quite chaotic and doesn't seem to follow the actual Game of Life rules.

Really cool on desktop here!

Yeah, on mobile even if I turn the speed way down, it skips over many steps making everything unrecognizable. It lowers the FPS but still skips just as much between rendered frames. Seems like a programming error.
