Description You sometimes get the weirdest ideas for pixel art... O_o

Anywhoo, I've binged on Conway's Game of Life for a day or two, and it came up again for some strange reason, when I removed a letter from the sort of device such a 'game' was. I then wondered if it was possible to remake this animation as a Flash program or something... not that I would know how. So I settled for a simple oscillating blinker.

There was a lot more I was thinking of adding to this submission, but scrunching the animation in 50x50 pixels looked too... well, scrunched, and I didn't feel like adding nontransparent shadows to a transparent background. Oh, well. x.x

Conway's Game of Life belongs to John Conway, and tomatoes belong to whatever force sprung them out of their seeds.

Shouldn't the corner cells be the little green tomatoes to represent "dead" cells?

Not an exact representation of life and death, but hey, less frames. XD

(Nitpick: I don't think Game of Life belongs to John Conway, because you can not copyright mathematical constructs.)

Ah, isn't that familiar?

And no? He created it, at least.

0_0 Either way, this is really cool and eye-catching, I especially like how they change color as well as size.
