  2. scipy.ndimage.convolve / scipy.fftpack.dct* From https://github.com/thearn/game-of-life : > How it's written > The game grid is encoded as a simple m by n array (default 100x100 in the code) of zeros and ones. In each program, a state…

  6. Cool idea. I just made a quick implementation for those who want to use it/see it live: https://github.com/thearn/game-of-life/blob/master/image.py I'll make a quick .gif, if folks are interested.

  7. Partially related: Here is a Python implementation of Conway's Game Of Life, using numpy.fft https://github.com/thearn/game-of-life This advances the game state image through re-expression of the game rules as a convolution filter.
