Wow, that‘s mega-cool! You totallly nerd-sniped me. Just thought that it would be interesting to apply the Game of Life to a monochrome dithered image. The interesting areas will be the living ones. Gonna try it.

Do you also know about HAM (Hold-and-Modify)? I‘m fascinated by what people did with the Amiga. I once prepared a Rust intro for my company: https://github.com/renuo/hamster

and I’m thinking about how to write a video codec using HAM, quasi per pixel a steam down time.
