Eric's Treasure Trove of Life.

Eric's Treasure Trove of Life. The cellular automaton known as 'Conway's Game of Life', that is. Many things to see, from the Table to the B-Heptomino, and even an AK47 Reaction. There's a huge community out there devoted to discovering new 'still lifes', 'puffers' and 'induction coils'. Who would have guessed Life could be so interesting?
For those of you interested in actually playing with Life and many different CA variations - as well as constructing your own rules - I highly recommend Mirek's MCell.

Recently discussed. Not to mention various threads on Wolfram's book.
