Show HN: Plot equations and evolve them with Conway's Game of Life

Hi everyone, I made a small experiment where you can use mathematical equations as Conway’s Game of Life starting state.

Enter one or more explicit functions such as `y=sin(x); x=sin(y)` and the app plot the curves on the grid.

Press Play to evolve that plotted shape using Life’s rules. You can layer equations (by plotting them one at a time or by using `;` ), clear the canvas, and toggle axes.

Comments

`y = x; y = -x` produces a nice effect (axis off)
