Life on a binary tiling

Hello again everyone.
I had another idea recently. While looking at a binary tiling, i noticed that every square in it has exactly 8 neighbors, just like on a regular square tiling.
This inspired me to implement the Game of Life on a binary tiling.
I made this little webthing as a demo: https://azertite055.github.io/btgol.html
I hope y'all find it interesting.

Well, I played around with it and found a whole bunch of still lives. No spaceships.

I actually think spaceships are impossible in this tiling because it is inherently anisotropic, so it may not be of much use. Feel free to prove me wrong. Neat demo though!
