Conway++ is an isotropic non-totalistic cellular automaton. In this rule, a cell survives from one generation to the next when it has precisely 2 alive neighbours, precisely 3 alive neighbours, or precisely 4 alive neighbours all of which are diagonal neighbours; and a cell becomes alive when it has precisely 3 alive neighbours.

It is one of MCell built-in Weighted Life rules.

Still lifes

Conway++ supports alien extensible still lives, including "checkerboards" of arbitrary width and length.
