Videos about Conway's game of life

Hello. I made a series of videos about Conway's game of life.
These show Japanese subtitles but I think you can understand them.
I hope you to enjoy them.

Nice! I really like the idea of tutorials that explain the large design and patterns in Life. People invest hundred of hours to design those things with minimal documentation and explanation. It would be nice to have a series on youtube that explains all the ideas behind the designs. Like I have no real understanding on how to operate the current patterns that already been proven as universal (like Minsky register machine, or even setup for MetaPixel there is no simple GUI for it, no actual documentation on how it works etc. even for the universal constructors which is the most explained and probably one of the most important designs in life, have no real scripts to operate them).

There is definitely a shortage of "operational" scripts and tutorials and documentation that will help a newbies, or even an intermediate Life enthusiast to get a grip on many of the complex patterns. This should also allow the use of the designs, in a more natural way, allowing another "level of abstraction" over the current existing approaches.

As for your videos - it's really a bit bugging to not understand the subtitles, making the videos themselves kinda boring to watch. Also some voice explanations could be very beneficial (but yet again I don't understand the subs, so maybe they're enough).

Anyway good job, and in the right direction! We need more explanations especially on the more complex life patterns and designs.

This video is an unconventional visualization of Game of Life, using Cellular Explorer. The brightness of the cells is proportional to their age.

I myself am making a tutorial series on GoL and would like to invite anyone who wants to participate in a discussion of a GoL topic, a showcase of personal discoveries or similar to contact me via my YouTube channel. The link is the first episode.
