Watching this is the closest thing I've had to a religious experience.

OMG!

The first program I did in my Bally Astrocade so many years ago was Life. I remember thinking what a dream it would be to be able to run a 100x100 grid at one generation per second. I could not have dreamed of this.

I found this to be a really cool interpretation of the game of life, as the computation creates a visible state.

People who are intrigued by Conway's Game of Life and cellular automata (CA) in general may enjoy tinkering with them in Golly [0], an open source sandbox for CAs.

The Game of Life is probably the first program I ever wrote. I (somehow) managed to get it working on a Timex Sinclair 2068 using a BASIC compiler which could only support one dimensional arrays.

It shows the recursion of our entire universe.

That was a beautiful thing. Thanks for posting that. Made my day.

Cool video of self organization, which led me to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X-gtr4pEBU
