Re: Recursive Game of Life
#114First off, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Second, judging from the author's github [0], I'm guessing this was made in Haxe [1], which is a language often used to make games. I'd looked at Haxe before, but I hadn't realized that it has a lot of Ocaml-like features. I think I need to give it a try on my next prototype project!

#115While an interesting effect, this recursive nature of this game can not be seen unless one has a mouse scroll wheel. I think it would be good to allow zoom in/zoom out to be done a different way (such as page up/page down or +/-). Not everyone has a mouse scroll wheel.
What kind of mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel?

#116I LOVE how you can set it to scroll forever by itself. This website is a true work of art.
How do you do that? I only see the speed slider, and it doesn't seem to respond to keystrokes.

#119I guessed almost immediately how this is implemented, but I'm still amazed by how fast it is.
I guessed too. Do you think I was right?

#120Who else had this experience. Cool - Game Of Life on my phone. Some pretty cool patterns. Recursion? Don't see it. But look - I can zoom out. Wow, that's a pretty large pattern. Oh shit! I've not delved into the code. But I am assuming that this is a static model and not actually doing the GOL calculations. Is that correct?
FYI it looks fine on my laptop (a Mac running Chrome). But it looked messed up on my phone (a Pixel 2), kind of like random static.
