    Whenever you place LIFE on a blank simulation with edgemode set to void, it loops over.

     

    Steps to Reproduce:


    1. Use the "Clear Simulation" Button.

    2. Go to the options menu and set edge mode to "Void".

    3. Place MAZE (put it near the bottom so you can see the bug better) so that it starts to grow.

    4. Watch as it loops over to the top or side (it depends on where you put it).

    That's meant to happen.

    Ok.

    LIFE was added long before edge modes were a thing. most GoL simulators do use looping edges. So we made GoL loop around in TPT too. When loop edge mode was added, we could have made GoL only loop around if this setting was on, but that would definitely break saves, and it's unusual for GoL to not loop around.
