You mean something like this?
If you don't want to be "spoiled" as to what exactly the video is going to show as it zooms out, use this link.. and don't pay attention to the browser tab title, or the video title in the top left corner, until it disappears in about 3 seconds along with the rest of the UI:

- uranium 8y agoWhoa--I'd heard of that computation, but I thought the resulting output was single-cell, not big obvious blocks like that. That's beautiful.
- baddox 8y agoYep, the OTCA metacell was exactly what I was thinking of. We know that the game of life is Turing complete, so the only challenge is figuring out how to make the graphics look presentable when zoomed out. Someone must have just implemented a 2d graphics environment on top of game of life.
