Final Agenda
Morning Session
10:00 --- Coffee
"As if there wasn't already enough energy and excitement in the
room!"
10:15 --- Revisiting the Game of Life --- CH
Ting
"A while ago, I saw a very nice game of Life display in one of my favorite
electronics shops, Anchor
Electronics, at 2040 Walsh Ave in Santa Clara. It is a 16x16 LED panel,
showing many sequences of the game of Life from different starting patterns. I
was surprised at how well the display runs with only a 16x16 display. I will
try to recreate it and show it in the meeting. I hope members will bring their
own implementations to the meeting to share."
