From Golly.Life Wiki

Version 600

To fix:

  • terminology (patterns, stamps, map patterns, etc.)
  • rearrange package into legacy and next gen functionality

To expand:

  • define two-color stamps (mixed colors)
  • define templating system for map patterns
    • quadrants or sextants
    • spaceship crashes

Also need to figure out some star wars CA patterns...
