With so much effort I managed to simulate (roughly) an animated version of Gonway’s “Game of Life”.

I found that it is possible to obtain an array of colors by using the Colors package and populating the arrays with values of type RGB, which looks even nicer to me.
julia> function gen(m)
M=copy(m)
foreach(c -> let
snb=count(w->w==one(RGB),m[intersect(c .+ CartesianIndices((-1:1,-1:1)),CartesianIndices(m))]) - (m[c]==one(RGB))
(m[c]==one(RGB) && (snb<2 || snb>3)) ? M[c]=zero(RGB) : (m[c]==zero(RGB) && snb==3) ? M[c]=one(RGB) : nothing
end , CartesianIndices(m))
M
end
gen (generic function with 1 method)
julia> cm=collect(takestrict(iterated(gen, begin I0=zeros(RGB,9,9);
I0[:, 5].=one(RGB);repeat(I0,2,2) end),30))
What I can’t do is get the images in a form that I can save and then create an animated gif with.
