From the README

Turn any link or text into a QR code, then watch it come alive in Conway's Game of Life.

The QR code seeds generation 0 of the simulation; each living cell then evolves under Conway's rules while the original QR pattern fades in behind as a "ghost" so you can see how far the board has drifted from the scannable code.

Text / URL → QR, encoded entirely client-side (no network needed). Adjustable speed, toroidal wrap-edges toggle, and a QR ghost overlay.
