    I've always wanted something like this board, buttons which can light up (preferably a few colours), to use to make games. Anyone ever found such a board which is hackable / programmable?

    I wonder is there a version GoL where every bit on a computer-display or LCD TV is one cell? How does it look?

    Nice. A friend of mine just picked up a Linnstrument, and I’m very tempted to create a Conway’s Game of Life-based musical visualization for it.

    I don't want to build this or pay for it, but I really want to mess with it for an hour.
