Game of Life

[prime]

So what is the Game of Life? It's different than most other computer games, but believed to be the most-programmed computer game ever. So what makes it different than the normal game? Well, you don't quite 'play' it for starts. You set it up, and then the rules take over and you watch it go. It is actually a 'cellular automaton' with applications that reach beyond java applets. The game was popularized by Martin Gardner's 'Mathematical Games' column in the October 1970 publication of Scientific American.

The simulation of all simulations, it shows us not just natural selection but evolution of complexity in action.
