Show HN: Hexagonal Game of Life Explorer

SciStone1 pts0 comments

I ve been working on this Game of Life Explorer Webapp for a couple of years now (later with LLM assistance). It s a browser-based simulator for hexagonal cellular automata where you can design, clone, mutate and evolve rulesets. I m using Rust/WASM, WebGL2 and Web Workers to get the highest possible performance despite running on a Web browser. I put a lot of effort and time into fleshing out the functionality to make it as easy and enjoyable to use as possible. Granted it takes a special kind of curiosity to enjoy playing around with Cellular Automata.The features I enjoy the most:- Constraining Rulesets to Rotational Symmetry- Cloning and Mutating Rulesets- Coloring Cells based on the Rule that caused their current stateIntentional limitations:- Hexagonal Grid with a maximum size of 576x666 toroidally wrapped- binary states- neighbourhood distance of 1Everything is 100% open-source, I really appreciate feedback.
