So, for anyone looking for a reason to why this is happening, here’s why: Basically, the game of life works by putting the three main rules on each cell at the same time. This is very important! When I was making my version of the game, I encountered the same problem. The reason being the three rules are being applied to one cell, then the next. Instead, what needs to happen is you have a backup grid that is for the out pit of the three rules. That way, the first grid remains the same. At the end of one generation, the grids switch. So grid one is main, then 2, then back to one. At least that is how I solved it in my version, which works great!
Yeah, it also applies to other simulations like nBody simulation(gravity and stuff like that) cuz otherwise you will get some funky stuff just like there
Wow thanks. I tried to make this one day and found this problem. I had the feeling that was the answer because I had made the same mistake when making a Sobel filter but instead of fixing it I started making some other weird stuff.

That's definitely a different rule (gliders stopped, formation of this kind of non symmetrical growing shapes,...) Edit: This have been clarified in the description

I got a similar bug when I switched the order of updating the screen and checking the pixels I think. But this looks wildly different from that bug. What'd you change?
@Augustine So are they updating the main collection of cells (in my case, that was a very large array of boolean values), then referred to the changed collection when checking the cells?
The first graphical project I ever made was the game of life I distinctly remember my frustration trying to fix this, and the I realised that I was applying the rules one cell after the other and not all at the same time
It must be a non-isotropic rule, because all the gliders are the same shape, just different orientations. Yet half of them became blocks and the other half became tubs.
The description explains it's because each cell is being iterated one at a time and GoL requires that all cells update at the same time, so when one cell dies, its neighbor cell is supposed to act as if the now dead cell is still alive

The description mentions changing the rule ("one line of code").
The title's still a little misleading though, I guess.

Ok but like, the fact that you go such chaos that didn't collapse into just a few stable states and even grew is impressive.
That's because they altered it, 2/3 AKA GOL is not an expansive rule
