Game of Life
The Game of Life is not your typical computer game. It is a ‘cellular automaton’, and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway.

This is an implementation of Conway’s Game of Life or more precisely, the super-fast Hashlife algorithm, written in JavaScript using the canvas-tag. It can simulate the largest known patterns, including the Tetris Processor (0.1MB, 29201m cells), Caterpillar (2.5MB, 11m cells), Gemini (1.4MB, 846k cells), Turing Machine (0.1MB, 252k cells) and large Metapixel patterns (0.1MB, 100m cells).
