Zeno Paradox: The Java-Animated Life Patterns

Usage Notes

• The above display is merely a window on a Life pattern that might be much larger. Scroll by clicking near the boundaries.
• The Recenter button translates the pattern so that at least one live cell is in the window. Use it to find patterns that have moved off-screen.
• The "<" and ">" buttons control the magnification.
