SocketLife is a project mainly written in Python, it's free.
A massively-parallel implementation of the Game of Life.
Socket-Based Life (SBL) is a massively parallel implementation of Conway's Game of Life. It doesn't do any useful work at all. Instead, it's purpose is simply to test my knowledge of sockets.
The basic idea behind the Game of Life is that there are a number of cells and that status of each depends of that of its neighbors. In this implementation, cells can be either alive or dead and a rule is provided for deciding how this boolean status should change after each round.
