u(t) is called 60 times per second.
t: Elapsed time in seconds.
S: Shorthand for Math.sin.
C: Shorthand for Math.cos.
T: Shorthand for Math.tan.
R: Function that generates rgba-strings, usage ex.: R(255, 255, 255, 0.5)
c: A 1920x1080 canvas.
x: A 2D context for that canvas.
This grid takes about 850 generations to stabilize between 2 states! "Theoretically, Conway's Life has the power of a universal Turing machine: anything that can be computed algorithmically can be computed within Life."
Yup, some of the oldest ones from 2017 are quite impressive and completely ucompressed, although that tag is a bit polluted with serpinski triangles later on.
Code with 185 characteres (previous code not working because comment removed a new line): for(w=44,i=w*w;i--;)T[i*!t]=i%7%2;for(e=[i=w*w];i--;)for(n=0,f=9;f--;n+=T[(~~(i/w)+w+f%3-1)%w*w+(i+w+~~(f/3)-1)%w],e[i]=n==3|n-T[i]==3,x.fillStyle=R(T[i]*i),x.fillRect(i%w*w,i,w,w));T=e
