<H1>Hexagonal Life Like Cellular Automata Rules</H1>
<p>These hexagonal rules are all two state rules, as is Conway's Game Of Life.
The HexLife rule is from David G. Ballinger's
<a href="http://www.well.com/~dgb/hexlife.html" target="_parent">
HexLife</a>.
The Bays rules are from Carter Bays'
<a href="http://www.cse.sc.edu/~bays/h6h6h6/" target="_parent">
Game Of Life in the Hexagonal Grid</a>.
<P>Some qualifiers for a good hexagonal analog of Conway's Game Of Life:
Static patterns (still lifes)
Stationary dynamic patterns (oscillators)
Moving dynamic patterns (gliders)
Naturally occurring patterns - patterns should result from random starts
Longetivity - many generations may be required before the outcome is known.
