My favorite demonstration

I liked the Game of Life demo the most. Firstly, John Conway is my favorite mathematician and I have always loved his research work. Secondly, the game of life demo was very interesting, because the simulation gave me a general idea of what John Conway was trying to say: a cell's state depends on its neighboring 8 cells, thus some colonies will survive while others fail( this seemed like the evolution of humans on later thought)
