Holy moly, that's an amazing video! Thank you for sharing!

Reminds of this one, where someone actually managed to code the Game of Life into the Game of Life:

Yes, it does have it's bugs right now, and I will fix those in the Codepen at least in the next few days! :)

Yeah I was in two minds whether to link to that one instead, but the music makes the first one feel epic! 😋🤣

I think the second one would melt my CPU (especially as it is so warm in the UK at the moment!)

There's So. Damn. Many. Interesting videos about GOL, I could seriously watch them all day long :D I think building the GOL-in-GOL version would alone take ages, let alone figuring it all out without any help...

Have you seen the FOL computer that outputs the Fibonacci sequence? RAM, CPU etc, just makes me realise how little I know 🤣😜
