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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’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.
