To view this you can use golly and program the rule B3/S1237 http://golly.sourceforge.net .

How could i reproduce this without golly ? what are the rules ?

The notation "B3/S1237" means a dead cell becomes alive (is "born") if it has 3 live neighbors, and a live cell survives if the number of live neighbors is 1, 2, 3 or 7.
