MATLAB Demo: Game of Life

Conway's Game of Life was my favorite demo as not only did it provide interesting graphics, the use of sparse matrices apparantly makes the calculations much simpler. I understood very little of the actual code apart from basic functions we've already learned such as "floor" or "randi". I also liked that the game was broken up into several seperate functions for just setting up the field, and for starting and stopping, and for other buttons such as close, info, etc.
