I was feeling a bit restless yesterday, so I decided to see if I couldn’t get a first approximation of Conway’s Life cellular automaton up and running on Windows Phone. I gave myself 1 hour to do it. It came out okay, and today I submitted it to App Hub (I’ll let you know if it gets published) as a free app.

The premise of Conway’s “game” is to create a world in a grid. You seed the grid either at particular locations, or as I did, randomly. You then proceed in generations.
