Quantum State Machine in a Loop Quantum Gravity Spin Network

The title may look scary but in fact is a very fun game that I'm playing for the last 6 years: Writing "Game of Life" software that will simulate physics elementary particles.
I started writing code to play this game 6 years ago, and now I reached a point that it plays very nicely. That's why I'm making it public.
The full article is here, and here are some highlights:
  • I found repeating stable pattern moving at constant speed whatever energy level
  • All patterns have energy inversely proportional to their size
  • Massive and massless particles appears naturally from rules of stabilization
  • Charges patterns and chirality of the shapes appears also from the rules
I'm really enjoying playing with this code and I hope to motivate someone to give me feedback ;)
Anxiously waiting to know if you find it as cool as me?
