Day 93 of 101 DoCC

Day 93 of 101 DoCC –  this is my fourth play with cellular automata – hereSnipe! The codepen challenge this week was birds, so I couldn’t resist. This one is using a grid and the first set of rules is from John Conway’s Game of Life.

Click to rerun and use the spacebar or arrows to change the rules. Here is a full page version. This works best on a computer.

See the Pen snipe by Sophia (@fractalkitty) on CodePen.
