The OLife Program
The computer program that implements Genetic Life is named OLife — for an object-oriented implementation of Life.
The program supports both classic and genetic Life evolution. It has the ability to display Life patterns in both two and three dimensions.

As shown below, a three-dimensional perspective provides a better view for comparing various ent attributes such as shape, size, color, and texture.
The following video shows ents with a height that represents how long they have been active – i.e. visibly present in a cell. This age excludes time during which they may have been asleep underneath a cell.
