This is a 6×8 grid from the first game I’ve programmed in umpteen years. Given the CMU students I’m working with, I thought it would be good to go through the process of programming something for the XBox, so I implemented John Conway’s Game of Life. The Game of Life is a simple example of a cellular automaton. Mine runs on a 100×100 grid.

If you’ve played around with the Game of Life, you’ll know this is a glider that by following a very simple set of rules will work its way across the grid.
