This year is the 40th anniversary of John Conway's zero-player game "Life". As a small tribute, I wrote a hasty 3D version of the game. It's written in C, and uses OpenGL to render the cube of cells. The cube contains 45 * 45 * 45 cells, and it plays by the standard "34/2" rules, which judging from the chaos that quickly ensues in the cube isn't optimal for a 3D version of Life.
