I'm proposing to Google an interactive Google Doodle to honor Martin Gardner, which would contain 6 minigames (one for each letter of GOOGLE), highlighting six things Gardner wrote about. One of those games of course should be a version of Life. Does anyone know of or have a Life engine that could be modified for this use? I'd prefer to open-source the code, but that is not essential. I'm guessing it should be in Javascript to be browser friendly (the Turing Google Doodle was open-source Javascript).
A noble idea. Here's a tiny modern JS-based life engine, only 376 bytes: http://js1k.com/2013-spring/demo/1478 Phil -- () ASCII ribbon campaign () Hopeless ribbon campaign /\ against HTML mail /\ against gratuitous bloodshed [stolen with permission from Daniel B. Cristofani]
