Game of Life patterns you can print

The new Game of Life tool turns eight classic patterns into repeating designs. Every phase comes from running the rule itself, and copies sit far enough apart that a whole sheet would keep behaving as Life says.

Samples to start from

• Generating…A sheet of pulsarsOpen with these settings
• Generating…Beehives, close together, with grid linesOpen with these settings
• Generating…A beacon's two phases, then back to the startOpen with these settings
