Request: Conway's Game of Life

Anybody up for making a bot that can simulate Conway's Game of Life in Everybody Edits? Maybe possibly even other Cellular Automata?

I'm not sure how useful a bot like this would be, but it'd still be pretty cool.

Can be fun to see indeed ^^
However finding a way to input different rules set might be a bit of a challenge (well, depending on how complicated the rules you want to accept are of course).

Just having lifelikes that you could custom make would be fun. For example, B3/S23 would be typical life rules where cells are born with 3 neighbors and survive with 2 and 3.

Re: Request: Conway's Game of Life

I tried doing one with the basic 4 rules stated in the wiki page.
Besides the momentary lag it shows before placing the blocks,
it wont animate a glider and it doesnt seem to be working.
I already made stuff for it but I can't seem to get it to work.
If anyone would want to try and fix it with me i'd be thankful.

Got any ideas for private bots and/or BAL bots?
