Conway's Game of Life Goes Multiplayer with Python and Hypermedia

Game of Life – But Multiplayer, Hypermedia and Python

A Hacker News submission points to a browser-based take on Conway's Game of Life that adds multiplayer support and is built with Python and hypermedia. The project, hosted at stario.dev, drew a handful of upvotes and no comments within its first hour, so details on its architecture and networking model remain sparse.

    Neat! I implemented something similar (real time playing along with GoL) for desktop:

    Nice. The five-tile paint cursor is an excellent design choice, much easier than the single-tile default you get on apps like Golly etc.

    What’s the Hypermedia reference? On mobile your About button is unclickable.

    My browser froze up so fast when I visited your page. Had to restart my machine.
