Rule 90

Rule 90 is a math rule that determines how cells are coloured (or "alive" or "dead") in a pattern. The rule looks at a 3x3 box of cells and if the pattern has two cells alive (or "on"), then the middle cell will turn on. If there is one cell alive, then the middle cell will turn off. This rule can be used to make some very cool and interesting patterns!
