Anybody got a link to a working example?

I mean, this seems straightforward enough

This is sorta my field. My goal is pretty pictures. Would this make pretty pictures? I dunno.

The paper describes a way of choosing a subset of tiles in penrose tiling that form a rectangularish grid and play the usual game of life there. Cells no not belonging to grid have little meaning in the cellular automaton. The paper suggest leaving them off or setting the same color as cells forming grid. It would probably look like game of life in slightly deformed grid.
