In my class we had to make a simple version of
Conway's Game of Life in Python using simple ASCII characters to represent the cells. I was inspired and created a very nice looking (at least IMO) applet version.

Right now it just randomly generates a starting board whenever you load the page (so you can refresh to restart) but I might add more control later.
The colors are on a sort of gradient depending on how many neighbors the cell has.

When I saw Conway I immediately thought Mighty Ducks

I added some more controls: you can now pause/unpause, move one step at a time (while paused), and control cell size.
Yeah, I'm bumping my thread. Sue me. :P

Source?
I'd be interested to see how your implementation differs from mine.

'salright, the comments which are there are truly masterful ;)
Pleasant code, makes me realise how unnecessarily complicated I made my version.

Gravedig, but what was your coloring scheme? Upon rereading about the game of life, I realized that there is nothing that would serve as a good color making thing. Is it the number of neighbors?

Oui.
public Color getCellColor(int nAmt){ //controls cell color based on neighbor amount

Ahh, forgot I could look at the code. Thanks
