Great work!

Is the seed random? No matter how often I refresh it reaches a “dead” state after a few epochs only.



Its random and default 23/3 rule always decays to oscillators and static objects. `Most initial patterns eventually "burn out", producing either stable figures or patterns that oscillate forever between two or more states (known as ash)` https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life


Factories/guns are quite rare, Oscillators are fairly common (but maybe not rendered properly on this? . . . is a common oscilator and I see many but they don't render propely) and spaceships tend to collide with stuff!
