right now it kind of stinks.

I don't think its clear how themes work right now and they are pretty dope 🥇

Right now there are 130 pages worth of patterns which is a little out of control. Need to look into categorizing the list better or something to make it more manageable.

Maybe tags? or folders? or maybe a view that doesn't include the preview.

causes the existing "tags" to not change filtering

Simple solution would be to move more than one tile at a time if zoomed out

Looks like wikilife isn't the only collection out there.

See jslife collection, preferably with Matthias Merzenich's updates

font awesome 4 is sooo last year

Something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgOcEZinQ2I

Right now preview is just in the small window on mouse over (or click on mobile). It would be nice to have a way to get a larger preview.

Suggestion from conwaylife forum:

Like its co.nz/gameoflife competition -- though not quite to the same degree -- if I try to scribble a large random starting pattern in gameoflife.xyz, I end up with a lot of disconnected dots. Disconnected dots don't make for very interesting simulations.
Several other editors (like Golly) draw straight lines from dot to dot when the mouse is moving too fast to register at intermediate locations. This makes for much quicker scribbling, and then much more entertaining explosions... which is the usual goal of scribbling.

Another user suggested Bresenham's line-drawing algorithm would help

Because it would look awesome

On bigger screens it would be nice to view more templates at once. Could maybe provide an option to let the user decide how they are shown.

They are way out of date
