in my opinion Jeffery Ventrella's clusters are a more promising avenue than Conways GoL. The rules are in comparison very interesting as well: No creation out of nothing, only particles that attract or repel each other.

The pattern it generates are pretty amazing as you can see here: https://youtu.be/0Kx4Y9TVMGg

Oh that is very nice! Will play with that idea a bit soon :)

(I have to say the presentation style of the video gets on my nerves a bit though, especially the "typing on a keyboard" sound effect. But hey, if it helps them reach a wider audience)

EDIT: why didn't you also link the original website of Jeffery Ventrella though?
