John Conway in Youtube

By alexmbcm

Here’s a documentary segment with John Conway talking about The Game of Life:

This segment is from a documentary called: What we still don’t know.

The whole episode where the John Conway segment came from is in google video.

I also found an excellent Make magazine video about a kit that allows you to make a Game of Life board with LEDs and a PIC controller. You can also buy more of them and join them:

    Excellent find! I’m going to enjoy these for a while…

    As for the Make magazine boards, I’m fascinated with the idea of putting some of those together in an oddly-shaped board instead of a clean grid. Unfortunately, these boards are still a little pricey per unit given that a single glider might take up the majority of a single board.

    Again, excellent find!
