Clearly this is an image of George Cayley testing out his first prototype. There wasn't a cloud in the sky during sunset that day and the view was beautiful.

Puzzle was way too easy, though.

OK, here is the solution of this series.

John Conway's Game of Life is some kind of Artificial Life. simulation. Visit this site for explanation or simply playing the Game of Life.

Not to be offensive, but while I now have the idea you did an 8-bit video game (I think that's what it is, right?), it has absolutely no quality to it. Whitespace is needed to make the puzzle have some kind of challenge to it, and we have a lot of solvers who know very advanced solving techniques; even if the solver isn't sure, we can likely crack it barring multiple solutions. Please give us something tougher next time! =)

Bryan, It's from the early 70's. You can read about it in S.Hawking's books, too.. :)

Ah, I was not alive then, but even the video game suspicion could be from the 80s.

This is NOT a video game :) but an answer, how biological mutations and selections work. :))
