life within life

Post by mutsuura » July 18th, 2021, 11:19 am

I'm new to this forum but have known about 'life' since early 70's.

At the 29:25 minute mark in this video [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeQX2HjkcNo ] narrator mentions about a pattern script capable of playing 'life' within 'life'.

Can anyone point me to the pattern script shown in the video?
I have 'golly' downloaded.

Thx

Attila

Edit: There are Patterns/HashLife/metapixel-... for viewing as well.

1. Draw and select the region you want to see as metapixels (life in life implementation)
2. Navigate to Scripts/Lua/metafier.lua and click to run the script
3. Presto, you have that region in Life in Life!
