It's been a while since I shared a project on this account, but after my recent fiddling with a LIFE engine on @TheLogFather, I thought I'd spend some time making a nice interface for it.
So, here it is – hope you enjoy playing with the little critters! :)

This is a Scratch implementation of the "Game of Life", which is a cell-based 'game' invented by John Conway in 1970.
See http://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life

While paused, you can place cells using the mouse, choose patterns from the right-side pop-out bar, paste RLE codes from the life wiki:

Then press the play button and see how they 'evolve'. :)
