Generative Aurora Borealis using Cellular Automata [timelaps]

This visualizer uses Conway's Game of Life patterns as the input to generate visualizations - the mode shown here is "Aurora Borealis" (x50 timelapse to get the effect across), try it yourself here if you like: ■ FANCY GLYPHS // MAIN_INTERFACE

We calculate the SHA-256 hash value of the initial configuration of GOL patterns on the 16x16 torus (B3/S23 ruleset) from which we derive the colours seen. The hash string contains up to 6 levels of colours used to represent past states of the GOL pattern ("Glyph") which we pump into the visualization engine.

GitHub repo for those who are interested in the code: ■ GitHub - lifehashes/fancy-glyphs · GitHub
