John Duksta setup a build of the Conway’s game of Life at the January 2009 DC401 meetup.

Very fun stuff, we had to build a 4×4 LED matrix device that when hooked up to other devices that other made, allows the game to play out. We only got 6 of them going, but there should be a few more being added in the coming days, and it should be on display in the front window at the AS220 shortly.

Check out some pics of it here:
