Super interesting site. There's an interactive (javascript based) grid here - http://academo.org/demos/conways-game-of-life/ http://academo.org/demos/conways-game-of-life/ - where you can input the patterns and watch them animate over time. Never fails to entertain.

In case anyone has a Novation Launchpad, I made Conway's Game of Life for it when I was first learning Clojure[0]. It's fun playing with cells you can press. Unfortunately there's a lot that I would do differently now that I know a little more what I am doing with Clojure, but I haven't had the time to go back and clean it up.

In my opinion one of the most interesting courses on coursera called Model Thinking had a few segments devoted to this.. https://youtu.be/fna6xW76NYg?list=PLGqc26s6O0E2P2BnK73JWXk4YYTgl3dmb https://youtu.be/fna6xW76NYg?list=PLGqc26s6O0E2P2BnK73JWXk4Y...

Life was the first non trivial program I ever coded. It was in GW Basic and required you to input the cells by typing in their grid coordinates one at a time. and it rendered the steps in the simulations using asterisks on the screen. I learned about off by one errors and multidimensional arrays coding it. I still remember the rush of elation when I first rendered the blinker on screen and it worked.
