Best Matlab Demonstration Ever

In my opinion, the "Game of Life" demonstration in Matlab was by far the most interesting. I've already been familiarized with Conway's "0-player game," but had never thought that Matlab could simulate it so well. Staring at the seemingly unending game was simply mesmerizing. Seeing that Matlab can make things like this really makes Matlab much more interesting than before. This demonstration was merely the lowest form of Conway's Game of Life...now I see that Matlab could potentially create all of the games that were spun off of Conway's original work.
