«Confetti 3» by henklass

Confetti 3 converts random patterns of blocks to more or less structured images. Every block will adapt to the predominant color in its surroundings, taking its upper, lower, left and right neighbour into account. Sound, corresponding to the location on the board, makes for some interesting melodies. This program can easily be converted to John Conway's Game of Life: http://sccode.org/1-4YV .

log(freq)=log(maxfreq)-((log(maxfreq)-log(minfreq))*(h+(maxWidth*v))/(maxWidth*maxHeight), so

Furthermore freq depends on value, which is either 0 or 1. 
freq=freq+(freq*value) or freq=(1+value)*freq
