Conway's Game of Life Over Time

An implementation of Conway's Game of Life using the Bevy game engine. Instead of the usual 2D grid simulation, the cellular automata are placed in a 3D grid that slowly descends at a fixed speed. Previous generations of the simulation are retained, allowing you to see the progress of how the states change over time.

This project was inspired by a cool Instagram post of the same visualization.
