1quad

1quad is an esolang based on Conway's Game of Life created by User:Yayimhere. it may seem random, however it was designed such that 1 would produce a quad(hence the name)

syntax

a program is made up of a single unary number where the unary symbol is ..

semantics

now we have a unary number. lets call it n. now do this process to turn the program into conway's game of life:

• set a variable P to $ abs({\frac {1}{n}})+(55385795187-n) $
• the area(called the rectangle) for the GoL pattern is $ n\times (5+n) $ by $ (n2)\times (n4) $
• fit the binary of P into the rectangle(not caring about what goes outside the rectangle) where 1 is a live cell and 0 is a dead cell, and if there aren't enough digits we repeat the binary until there is. we ignore the decimal if there is any
• run the GoL program

so the program:

.

returns this GoL layout:

and:

..

becomes the layout:
