Game of Life again but by way of Parallelism - bplus - 02-22-2024

This time we start out with simple "Blinker" in the 2D version and see what becomes of it in 3D version per parallelism:
Code: (Select All)
_Title "3D per Parallelism test Game of Life - hold enter to reset" ' started Parallelism b+ 2024-02-20
'  "parallelism suggests a connection of meaning through an echo of form"
' 2024-02-21 Pyramid 2 screw around with pyramid numbers fix projection formula
' 2024-02-21 now test cubes with DrawCube sub
' 2024-02-21 return to Pyramid 2 and fix that according to how this Project sub works.
' 2024-02-22 test Game of Life code from thisversion of DrawCube
