That should be a menu screen - not implemented yet. Afraid I'm on vacation now, with intermittent mobile Internet only, so I probably won't be updating it mutilate next week.
I was thinking of having it so you could skip ahead once you'd beaten a level once. It's only Javascript but I tthink this ...

Re: Game project - seek good 'intro' page for CGOL
The game is as 'zoomed out' as I could get and still have it not run like a pig on my cheap prepay phone - that's my low-end target there. 192x192 grid. I think computers are good enough these days that why go any smaller? Of course it screams on my new touchscreen i7 laptop, but that can't be THE ...
