This is the kind of visualisation that obvious in retrospect, but I don't think anybody's done this before. Very nice.
I think the only change I'd make really is to give the top layer and obviously different colour so you can view from the top and see the current configuration. Currently it just looks confusing because e.g. a - oscillator looks like + instead.
Very nice visualization, the fade out really adds to the organic feel.
I've been playing with a similar system but designed for 3d printing, it's simple to make it self-supporting by just drawing a line from each parent to each child which is neat.
What does stacked mean? Is this just 3D game of life where cells die unless 5-6 neighbours and come alive with 4 neighbours? But very cool, would also be cool if you could specify initial configurations perhaps. (BTW, github link seems broken.)

Here's one from 2018: https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/9xfquc/3d_visualizati...
One from 2 weeks ago: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUxkEiWDS-q/
I'm sure there is much older.
I like this one, from 1 year ago; a tall structure rendered in Blender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D50iRzBI3qc
That 3D printed one is amazing!

I am a simple man. I see Game of Life in the title, I upvote the post.
Hmm, shouldn't this pattern be perfectly stable?
In this simulation it seems to oscillate between two patterns.Very interesting visualization either way!
I'm guessing you're looking at three cells switching between vertical and horizontal.
O O to OOO and back again. O

Ah found answers in README of vnglst/stacked-game-of-life, nice idea!
Yes, that's right, it's https://github.com/vnglst/stacked-game-of-life
The link was broken indeed. Should be fixed now. Glad you like it!
Could you make the number of history layers and their opacity configurable?
Very cool! Would be great to be able to rotate/zoom the 3D space.
Not only can you rotate with right-click, you can also pan and zoom and manually add cells.
Am able to rotate/pan/zoom with firefox on desktop using the mouse buttons and scroll wheel
It can at least be rotated, as I did so.
Very cool!
