gollark: Running 16x16 grids through now.
gollark: None in that, either, huh.
gollark: I'm currently running 10000 iterations. Since the implementation I'm using is single-threaded and CPUy, it won't be too fast.
gollark: Random thing: out of interest, I decided to run a bunch of game of life iterations on a 32*32 wrapping grid with half the initial cells alive. In several hundred runs, none got their cell count above the initial cell count.
gollark: 18:50:28.
