Modern Cellular Automata sister site,
while also perpetually under construction, is more actively updated than this site.

Updated the pattern collection and its viewing software.
February 2007
Added the Color GOL Pattern Viewer which lets users
view moderately sized Life RLE patterns. Set most speed limits to 75. Removed color explanation
table from the Words page since too many applets seemed to hang a page in some browsers. Updated
links to Hensel's page.
