I started this small project after seing x-life:

• Firstly, I wanted to know more about custom element.
• Secondly, I started to implement a game of life in javascript using two.js some time ago. Unfortunately, I somehow abandoned it.

It seemed a perfect way to address both points at once. So here I am, forking that project and ready to insert the bricks I already wrote. Unfortunately, I soon notice that I am not even familiar with bower. So, after a bit more digging, I decided to start over using the seed-element component, which comes nicely set up and with a ready test suite (more here).

Fast forward and I hope you'll enjoy this q-life component.

Here are some ideas to improve the element that I may or may not implement in the future:

• Implement pentagon tiling game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_tiling)
• Implement a wireworld game type (http://kaytdek.trevorshp.com/projects/computer/neuralNetworks/gameOfLife2.htm)
• Implement a 1D representation
• More attribute configuration (like the states)

• acrylc for x-life
• The Polymer authors for the seed-element and its guide
