Re: Lisp in Life - Lisp Interpreter in Conway's Game of Life
Thanks dvgrn and Yoel for your comments! Also thanks for nominating Lisp in Life as the Pattern of the Year 2022 patterns, and to the people who have voted for the pattern. I'm very happy to hear that many of you have found my work interesting! [...] The blog post is definitely worth a look! Some of...

Re: Lisp in Life - Lisp Interpreter in Conway's Game of Life
That would already be super cool ! Thanks! Sorry I don't really get why developing a list interpreter ? Why not a compiler ? The main purpose that I find interesting in running an interpreter on GoL instead of compiling the code beforehand, is that we can allow Conway's Game of Life patterns to be ...

Re: Lisp in Life - Lisp Interpreter in Conway's Game of Life
Thanks! I tried running the pattern in your repo. The pixel display looks awesome! I looked at the instruction set in your computer and it seems to cover everything included in the current Lisp assembly, so it seems to be possible to fit the Lisp interpreter assembly to a size similar to the current...

Re: Lisp in Life - Lisp Interpreter in Conway's Game of Life
Thanks Macbi and dvgrn for your feedback! I was curious about how the task of processing languages were discussed in GoL so I was happy to know about it. I think the heavy use of OTCA Metapixels when metafying the QFT architecture is a large drawback too. It was the main problem that required me to ...

Re: Lisp in Life - Lisp Interpreter in Conway's Game of Life
I wanted to ask two questions, one about the Game of Life, and another about how I could improve my post quality. The first one is, I was wondering if there are other instances where a high-level programming language was interpreted inside a Conway's Game of Life pattern, or if this was the first on...

Lisp in Life - Lisp Interpreter in Conway's Game of Life
Hi everyone, it's my first time posting here. I created Lisp in Life, a Lisp interpreter that runs on Conway's Game of Life. The pattern is available at my GitHub repo: https://github.com/woodrush/lisp-in-life The Lisp program is provided by editing certain cells in the pattern to represent the ASCI...
