This is my spin on Conway's Game of Life.
I have added the ability to create an account, save grids that you have discovered, and browse the gallery of grids saved by other people and replay them.
This project has served as a sandbox for me to practice various aspects of developing a comprehensive web application from scratch. This was my first time developing a full scale web app with [almost] all the features you would expect. I know it is nowhere near perfect in its current state, but I feel it has reached a point of diminishing returns, and therefore my time is better spent focussing on other projects with more potential. I may continue to develop this project further in the future just for fun.
A really nice QOL feature would be click-dragging to draw lines/curves.
Anyway I'm finding this quote fun. Many CGOL doodad apps that I see don't actually allow configuration of a seed state, but have one preconfigured or randomly generated; I found them incredibly boring (to be fair, they were probably made for reasons other than actually playing the GOL). It wasn't until recently when I did more in-depth reading about what CGOL actually is that I realized that the entire point and the fun of it is inventing/discovering initial configurations that lead to certain outcomes. And here comes an app that lets me save them and find inspiration from others. Nice work!
