    Terrific program BUT one minor request: --> Make the "+" and "-" zoom tools - when held down - act like the "hand" tool. This will help a lot. Make them zoom only on a brief click & release. Right now, zooming in with the "+" tool almost always moves the pattern further off center. I can use the arrow keys to move it back but those operate in steps. A hand tool would be intuitive and smoother, but I can't be switching back and forth from that. Thanks!

    If you want to zoom in/out without changing the central position, hit the ]/[ keys. If you'd prefer different keys to do that, open Preferences > Keyboard and assign any keys you like to the Zoom In / Out actions.

    A simple and intuitive Conway simulator game. Thanks.

    Perhaps it would be interesting to be able to import 2-bit bitmap graphics.

    You can. See Help > File Menu > Open Pattern.

    Very impressed with quality, performance, and design. Only a couple natural editing features I found missing or difficult to accomplish (filling a region and moving a region), so only -1 on features.

    To fill a region use Scripts/Lua/flood-fill.lua. To move a region use Scripts/Lua/move-object.lua or move-selection.lua. You can assign keyboard shortcuts to run these scripts via Preferences > Keyboard.

    Perfect! The best Life/CA simulator I've ever known! Great thanks to developers.

    Perhaps the most feature-full and speedy-running software of its kind I had seen to date. Very nice work! Moreover, it's being actively maintained, and is open source.
