Finished the first iteration of the Rust backend, passed some tests, and linked it to the UI. It definitely works, for the signature GoL patterns (blocks, loaves, gliders, etc.) are emerging, but the system is still quite unable to handle the 1000x1000 grid I had hoped for. The bottleneck may simply be the PyO3 interface, or (very likely) there may be much room for optimization in my Rust code.

Wrote most of the Python frontend using Pygame (graphics are neither my forte nor my passion, and I wanted to focus on the internal logic). Also began working on a Rust struct accessible via PyO3 which encapsulates and mutates the GoL grid. This is really my first go at PyO3 and Maturin (or any cross-language project, for that matter), but it seems Python and Rust have been communicating nicely so far.
