The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. It is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves. It is Turing complete and can simulate a universal constructor or any other Turing machine. (Wikipedia).
The logic gates NOT, AND and OR in the Game of Life. The Game of Life is a cellular automaton invented by John Conway in the late 1960s. I write about it in my book Alex Through the Looking-Glass: How Life Reflects Numbers and Numbers Reflect Life: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1408817772

Conway's Game of Life on a Torus
Conway's Life rule is often run on a flat grid with wrap-around. Here we do the same thing but with the sides joined together to make an actual 3D torus. Generated with open source software: http://code.google.com/p/reaction-diffusion/
