Favorite Demonstration

Conway's game of life is my favorite because of how interesting the graphic is while the program runs. The rules are specific so that there's not explosive growth, but it looks like there are colonies moving across the frame. I also like how there are oscillators that are stable, and eventually the whole simulation settles down into oscillators.
