Hi ilhaq. See version 2, where I've eliminated the checkboxes. Loading an initial pattern might be a bit of a challenge. Perhaps you could write code to turn on the cells you want on.

Theres no winning, really. Its more a simulation than a game.

keep upp the good work

[ilhaq]

Is there anyway of doing this using a blank canvas of pixels rather than checkboxes? also just wanted to ask whether I can import an initial pattern into the game, if so how would I do that?

That game seems impossible, like, 20^20 Seriously, you would never win!
