PsiALife

The "Game of Life" is a cellular automaton in which there are simple rules which govern whether one of the cells in a grid will be "live" (appear black) or "dead" (appear white) depending on the state of its neighbours in the previous cycle of the game. The result is that patterns appear to move across the grid. The Game, as developed by John Horton Conway, was first publicly described in Martin Gardner's column in the Scientific American for October 1970. For references, look here.
"PsiALife" runs in a square of 64 by 64 cells, which wrap around from side to side and top to bottom.
It can import "*.LIF" files as generated by the Life gurus and freely available on the Web.
