Hi HN, when learning Golang (and topology), I ported a simple GOL in C (https://github.com/Jeadie/GoL) into Go. I then added a bunch of features

Look up the b/s format for specifying rules. It is a lot more flexible.

Here's my version : https://github.com/chewxy/ll/blob/main/main.go#L176

I also live coded this in a series of 3 videos:

During a recent programming detour, I discovered that finite elementary cellular automata with circular boundary conditions can be simulated using power iteration using matrix-vector multiplication with a circulant matrix and a strange kind of algebra, which I call a kernel algebra. [1] I wonder if this same idea could be generalized to higher dimensional automata on other topological surfaces.
