Conway’s game of life (in html 5)

Check out the site sixfoottallrabbit.co.uk/gameoflife where you can play Conway’s Game of Life (in html5). I was curious what the number 42 would produce, you know, since it’s the answer to life and all.

This is my initial configuration above, the number 42.

After a while, it evolves into the configuration above.

Near the end, it produce 2 gliders (on the far right and far left) that travel on forever, along with a few blocks and behive.

I’m not sure what I was hoping for. I tried about 50 different configurations which all look like the number 42 to see if I could get a “gun” but so far all the ones I tried ended up with still lives, oscillators, and a few spaceships.

I think it’d be pretty cool if you could start with 42 and get a gun that continues to “create life”!
