Conway's Game of Life on TFT Variant 15 Kit – Arduino Uno Cellular Automaton Display with Seed & Speed Controls

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Watch Conway's Game of Life unfold at 30 frames per second on a crisp 1.8-inch TFT display, transforming a classic computer science concept into a living piece of interactive art. You set the initial population with a random seed button and dial the simulation speed with a potentiometer, watching intricate patterns evolve, die, and regenerate on a pixel grid you programmed yourself.

What You'll Build

You will assemble a self-contained cellular automaton engine that reads button presses to re-seed the grid, reads a pot to control the generation delay, and redraws every cell in real time. The final piece sits on a breadboard, runs from a 9V battery, and invites anyone to play with the speed knob and seed button—an elegant merge of math, code, and visual design.

What You'll Learn

• Implement Conway's Game of Life rules in C++ using a 2D array and double-buffering
• Drive an ST7735 TFT display over SPI with the Adafruit GFX library
• Read analog input from a potentiometer to dynamically control frame rate
• Debounce a tactile button and use its state to trigger random grid seeding
