Is this kind of like Conway's game of life?

Gives me Conway's Game of Life vibes! Love this kind of stuff, nice work :)

It's an iteration on Conway's "Game of Life".

A mechanical Conway's Game of Life.

How about Conway Game of Life. The rules are simple but emergent pattern are complex enough that Wolfram could write a whole book about it.

What's the algorithm for this? Is it just Conway's game of life?
