That's interesting, I recently wrote a game of life that uses PyTorch to run on the GPU:

It benefits from using PyTorch's 2D convolution operation but sufferers it has to keep casting types to get it to work. Still, it's quite fast for very large grids!

I implemented a version of game of life using 2D convolutions from scipy, I’d be curious to see how it compares to GPU crunching

Nice! I did a game of life using stable diffusion recently, check it out :)

That's pretty sweet. Nice job!

Can you make it bigger? it is too small for glider gun :)

Done. Now it's double the size (50 x 50).

100 x 100 works too, although was noticeably slower.

Still blazing fast on iPhone

Runs ridiculously fast on my iPhone 14 Pro Max :)

We programmers mostly living in abstraction on top of abstraction have actually no idea how fast our computer has become.

Yes, a slower speed option would be good.

Love the use of light blue color for the blinking cells! Surprisingly smooth UX considering we have checkboxes for cells.

That's cool but now do it with only html+css!

(jk this is already pretty cool! :D)

li { height: 20px; width: 20px; }

input[type="checkbox"] { width: 20px; height: 20px; }

Now you can't even tell the difference between the real thing!
