My fascination with the Game of Life started when I was 10 and saw the Horizons tape that came with the ZX Spectrum, nearly 30 years ago. So amazing to see these little blocks be born, expand, and die. This is a great little sandbox for exploring different Life rules. Obviously it is easier to use on an ipad but I'm glad it runs on the small screen too. My only suggestion is to set the default speed much lower so you can see what's going on.
A really nice implementation of a great game. I would love to have a feature that allows to reset to the initial status or somehow save different patterns. Apart from that, I couldn't wish for more.
Lots of possible settings but lack of explanation of what each does? Surely there can be a better way than just constant experiment to know what each setting does
