I've recently been interested in cellular automata and saw that you used
[#convolve] in game_of_life.pd. I don't really understand how it's working,

Can you tell me what's missing or not clear from the pageful of notes that
I wrote around the formula (in the subpatch) ?
Will you be adding bits about how to use convolution in cellular
automata? I personally would love some help in understanding how that
works.
Cellular automata are always based on convolutions. It's just not always
stated explicitly... most programmers would rather write nested for-loops
than use something like [#convolve], you see.
First I will add an actual intro to convolutions in general (before I
start talking about blurs and stuff) and maybe it will become clearer for
cellular automata as well. If you have more questions then I will add
something more if I know what to add in particular...
