Well done! Have you considered a menu to change the automata rules?

Thank you :). Yes I have considered it, I will maybe implement it later if this project is liked by the community.

If you're mesmerized by the "Game of Life" like I am your going to enjoy the Continuously Domain versions like smooth life. Check out the video[0], and an implementation in python[1] on HN.

Nice double glider :). You can add it as a default shape if you want : https://github.com/sarcadass/yagol/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING....

I'm always surprised by how few programmers are familiar with the Game of Life. It used to be that anyone with a degree in Comp Sci would have come across it at some point in their education -- maybe it's a casualty of the shift from hard computer science to software development?
