#2What does stacked mean? Is this just 3D game of life where cells die unless 5-6 neighbours and come alive with 4 neighbours? But very cool, would also be cool if you could specify initial configurations perhaps. (BTW, github link seems broken.)

Ah found answers in README of vnglst/stacked-game-of-life, nice idea!

Yes, that's right, it's https://github.com/vnglst/stacked-game-of-life
The link was broken indeed. Should be fixed now. Glad you like it!

#6Very cool! Would be great to be able to rotate/zoom the 3D space.

Could you make the number of history layers and their opacity configurable?

It can at least be rotated, as I did so.

Am able to rotate/pan/zoom with firefox on desktop using the mouse buttons and scroll wheel

#10This is the kind of visualisation that obvious in retrospect, but I don't think anybody's done this before. Very nice.
I think the only change I'd make really is to give the top layer and obviously different colour so you can view from the top and see the current configuration. Currently it just looks confusing because e.g. a - oscillator looks like + instead.
