That's awesome. What resources did you use to learn Node and JS? Just looked at your code. Kid. You're a badass. Keep this up, you'll go places.

Thank you! I'm watching a lot of Youtube videos. This is how I got to cellular automata. My dad showed me git last week.

Anyone else miss learning this quickly?
In all seriousness, congrats. Keep at it. There is always something else to learn. It's the career that never stops giving.
That's pretty quick!
Do you have any plans for future projects? Maybe a simple place where you could chart your progress?
I think one of my favorite uses of cellular automata besides conway's game of life (if you are interested in it) is modeling simple fluid mechanics (water flowing from place to place) in games like dwarf fortress http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
That's so freaking cool. Git rocks, and I remember how psyched I was when I learned about it. What's your next project?
I'm not sure. I'm always messing around with different projects.
I used blocklike.js to jump from Scratch to JavaScript. Then I worked for months on this one game for the app store called Sticky Quest. You can find it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sticky-quest/id1425679649?mt... This how I learned how to use npm packages such as Cordova and Eslint.

Cheater! :) Seriously though, great work. I started around your age (which I guess means I've been coding for half my life at this point.) Keep challenging yourself with new and interesting projects and you're going to learn a lot and have a lot of fun.
