Gliders

This sketch demonstrates that gliders with arbitrary speed and direction can be supported with a simple cellular automata program.

It might be fun to do some genetic engineering with a supporting program. For example such a program could generate a dna string which causes a glider to move in a spiral or write text.

The original version was written using NetLogo which can be seen here:

I have only recently discovered Processing and was wondering why the implementation of typography uses vlw fonts rather than true type fonts.
