19:39:47 <coppro> Are there any esoteric languages based on Conway's Game of Life?

Clearly we must dele— what am I saying, let's keep this for posterity. —ehird 02:12, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Conway's Game of Life is already Turing Complete, but I've wondered about adding input/output to it. The most straightforward way I can think of would be to have special cells: Input cells that ignore the rules and output cells that check their state each tick and output an ASCII character. It would probably be sensible to have the I/O cells function as normal cells except when special timing cells are activated, since otherwise the input would all run together and the output would be a constant stream of gibberish. --MDude 16:32, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
