alt Hacker NewsIs there a visualization of the glider in the thread? Would love to see how it evolves with one dimension being time.

The best way to run it is in the software Golly. It has the HashLife algorithm needed to make it run fast enough to see it finish.

After the first step it isn't 1D any more, so I don't think that visualization is possible

My understanding (which could be wildly wrong, I only skimmed the thread) is that it's running in a standard 2-dimensional Game of Life grid, it just happens to start out as a 1x3.7B cell line.
