Game of Life

Here's a java applet of John Conway's ubiquitous "Game of Life". You can run it as an applet, or if you so choose, download it and run it as an application. As an application you can control the size of the size of the window so you can increase the grid size without the boxes shrinking to nothing.

"By the early 70's, many more automata had joined the ranks of universal computers, including the Game of Life, a cult classic invented by Dr. John Horton Conway, a Cambridge mathematician".
