-Your project will be to create a Cellular Automata Laboratory with GUI using the Java(tm) programming language. Initially, the application will implement Conway's Game of Life, but will be extensible or reusable to implement other rule-sets. Have a look at http://www.julianpulgarin.com/canvaslife/
