A variation on GoL with fertility/mortality based on the age of cells

In plain words

LIFE as we know it is a variation on Conway's Game of Life that introduces age-based fertility and mortality mechanics to cells. Instead of simple survival rules, cells age over time and have different reproduction and death rates depending on their age. The simulation is designed for people interested in cellular automata and emergent behavior in systems. It offers a different complexity layer compared to classic Game of Life by making cell lifecycles more realistic and dynamic.

  Game of Life on non-square topologies with 2^32 update rules2022 · github.com · ▲69

  Hi HN, when learning Golang (and topology), I ported a simple GOL in C (https://github.com/Jeadie/GoL) into Go. I then added a bunch of features - Playing on other fundamental polygons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_polygon#Examples_o...) - Considering all possible update rules (of which, there are many). Looking to get back to this project soon. Would love some feedback + ideas.
