This is a version of life that I made, after an attempt to speed it up by examining only the rectangle containing live cells - if you check out the code you'll see what I mean. I also made a variation called rats, like life but dif. rules.

wow very nice.
Notice if you arrange them in an asymmetrical pattern at the start, they move in mesmerizing patterns, and grow pretty well.
And sometimes they form stable colonies, that are later swallowed by larger groups.

There are websites showing different life shapes that do certain things. For instance:
<pre>
-++
+-+
--+
</pre>
Will actually travel along a diagonal. (+ are live, - are dead)
