Arduino Uno TFT Game of Life Kit – Press a Button, Watch Digital Life Evolve

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

Press a tactile button and a whole miniature universe springs to life on a bright 1.8-inch TFT screen. This kit turns an Arduino Uno into a self-contained Conway’s Game of Life simulator, seeding random populations and letting you watch gliders, blinkers, and still lifes emerge from just a few simple rules. No external computer needed once programmed—just power up and explore how complexity self-organizes from nothing but color pixels on a grid.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a portable cellular automaton display that generates random starting patterns at the push of a button, then evolves them generation by generation on a full-color TFT. The final build runs entirely on battery power, making it perfect for science fairs, classroom demos, or quiet afternoons observing the hypnotic dance of digital life.

What You'll Learn

• Program an Arduino to control the ST7735 TFT display and draw pixel grids
• Implement Conway's Game of Life algorithm using 2D arrays and nested loops
• Use a tactile button to trigger random seed generation and reset the state
• Understand emergent behavior, rules-based simulation, and real-time visualization

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Designed for CBSE Class 8–10 students taking their first step into Arduino and visual computing, ATL Tinkering Lab participants who need a ready-to-show project, and young STEM club members aged 10–15. The beginner-friendly build and pre-written code let learners focus on understanding the algorithm rather than hunting for parts, while experienced hobbyists can dive straight into customizing rules and displays.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
