About a week ago, John Conway, creator of “Conway’s game of life”, died of the coronavirus. You can read about the game and other important contributions he made to Mathematics here.
So what better way to spend a lazy Sunday than to port some code to V5, attached is the project, it could be extended far more, I’ll leave it to you all to improve upon it.
Some screen shots

Figure 8 on 22P36
There are lots more patterns to be found here that could be added as presets to the code.
