life's Issues

Add color picker to make cells all kinds of pretty

Wrap edges around for neighbor calculations

so edges cells have the same chances to live/die as other cells

Start paper buttons trigger js error on initial start

Add control allowing users to change rules

Avoid premature optimization

Switch to using polymer serve for static assets

Make the canvas be visible behind the controls side panel

Rainbow option

Every cell has a different color

Improve center cell

It shouldn't look just like all the other cells
It should be smaller, maybe round

Camera zoom is opposite of what it should be

A low size gets zoomed out, a larger size gets zoomed in

Write ruby backend in JS to remove server dependency

Color sliders to match primary color

Add offline support

So once you visit a hosted site it'll just load from your device

Refactor JS

Reduce globals
Make it clean and pretty

Correctly align sliders to center

Improve tick logic to only calculate next state for alive cells and their neighbors

Get tests running on CI

https://travis-ci.org/bendyworks/life

Update threejs implementation to not reset all cubes every tick

Move to using an oplog to pass cell changes to the UI

Only send the cell state for cells that have changed their state from the previous tick

{
  "1:2:3": true, // cell has become alive
  "4:5:6": false // cell has died
}

Implement build state for static assets

Improve browser compatability
