Paint a grid. Watch it live.
A GPU cellular-automata sandbox. Life, Brian's Brain, Langton's Ant, Wireworld, and your own B/S rules, on a playfield the size of your screen.
Paint, stamp, flood, then hit play. Or host a shared canvas and let friends draw on the same grid. The host owns the clock. Everyone else can paint (unless you mute them).
