A simple and intuitive Conway simulator game. Thanks.

Perhaps it would be interesting to be able to import 2-bit bitmap graphics.

Very impressed with quality, performance, and design. Only a couple natural editing features I found missing or difficult to accomplish (filling a region and moving a region), so only -1 on features.Reply from GollyPosted 2021-11-15
To fill a region use Scripts/Lua/flood-fill.lua. To move a region use Scripts/Lua/move-object.lua or move-selection.lua. You can assign keyboard shortcuts to run these scripts via Preferences > Keyboard.
