Comment on Mr. Baby Paint and accidentally discovering a new cellular automata

It's hard to believe how spot-on this is to what I've been looking for. I thought about coding something almost exactly like this, for the exact same reasons as the author describes.

I see this is from earlier in the year; I've certainly googled for this kind of thing a few times since then, and never got this as a result.

Thanks OP for posting.

So I got it yesterday, and the toddler loves it. He's not quite there yet with controlling even the mouse movement, but I could already see some progress in his familiarity with it from the first session. Of course banging on the keyboard at full strength is still his preferred move, but that's fine.

I'll be gifting this to a few parents I know. @jfil let me know if there's a better way than to do N gift purchases. I'm worried my credit card provider might take issue with repeated purchases (hopefully not)
