I've been travelling for the past few months, and will continue to do so for the next few months, so uploads have been slow. Having said that, here is part one of a new video!

I've been traveliing for the past few months, and will continue to do so for the next few months, so uploads have been slow. Having said that, here is part one of a new video!

The last future topic poll had a clear winner: The Game of Life.

This thing is very simple to make but it allows for amazing complexity and amazing creations! It's perhaps the most famous example of a 2d cellular automaton and I'm sure that in the future we'll look at this topic further because its full of good video ideas.

Enjoy!

A few more updates: Some defines to control scaling of size and update frames (so you can have chunkier pixels and slower evolutions), but what turned out even more fun was fading out the dead pixels over the course of several frames: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/7lV3zd

Okay, definitely having way too much fun with this one. https://www.shadertoy.com/view/slKGD3 Seeding the field with some vertical lines is giving me some Sierpinski Triangle-like structures as well as some lovely mirroring effects.
