• add all other options like size etc

• do not process history if turned off

• add gif export

• add toolbar

• turn input ifs to switch

• use left mouse to drag grid unless insert mode is active

• keep supporting middle mouse to drag so that dragging is possible in insert mode

• print current mode to the bottom like pause, insert and mark

• add https://www.ibiblio.org/lifepatterns/october1970.html

• use uint8 or bool, history needs not be larger than 256 anyway

• history: dont count age but do calc to get index to age tile based on cell age

• maybe pre calc neighbors as 8 slice of pointers to neighboring cells to faster do the count

A Catagolue textcensus of, say, period-2 oscillators from non-symmetrical soups can be found at

https://catagolue.hatsya.com/textcensus/b3s23/C1/xp2

The URL is made by just adding the prefix "text" to the word "census", in any URL linked to from a Catagolue census page such as this one:
