Great for customization

The UI is a little complicated at first, but I think it’s very cool to be able to create your own take on the classic game of life.

Unusable UI

The controls (black) display on a almost entirely black background. It wasn’t possible to read what any of the switches/buttons meant.

Options window/layer should temporarily cover the rendering layer so the button labels can be read.
