The Game Of Life HD

[42DuckyDuckers]

What kind of program did you use to get it this fast?

...Or did you just use a regular program, and speed it up?

This is really awesome!

(I've written a game of life program of my own, but I never thought of using colors...)

Also, could you give a clear view of the seed?

@42DuckyDuckers It's a Java program that I wrote. It generates a BMP file fore each egeneration, then I use another program i wrote to assemble the series of BMP files into an uncompressed AVI video. Then I add audio and compress using TMPGEnc (Tsunami MPEG Encoder).

The seed is called the Rabbits, a so-called Methuselah Pattern due its long life (nearly 18,000 generations). A description of the Rabbits can be found here:
