On conwaylife.com, if you hold down the mouse button, when you drag it off of a square, it will come to life.

I've toyed with it for a while long time ago.

I even downloaded some variations.

But there's a limit with what you can do with it.

It's more of a simulation based on certain axioms than a game.

I dunno, I got bored with Life. There's no objective to it other than watch squiggly patterns move around. To each his own, I suppose.

Lol, I remember the mid-90s when those 300 games on 1 cd had at least 20 Life games on it. Apparently a lot of people thought that the best of computers would be to play Life.

Have you seen the program at http://www.mirekw.com/ca/?
I hasn't been updated since 2001, and can occasionally crash on you, but it supports practically any ruleset imagineable...

Someone had way to much time.

Lol, something a DF player or engineer would do.

A true DF player would implement a Conway automaton in his fortress, using only water and a clever system of levers, pressure plates and floodgates.
