Conway's Game of Life in Garrys Mod

Pointless? Yup!

Could be done better? Definately!

Wasteful? Hell yes!

Fun! Oooh yeah...

Basicly this is a quick (ish) attempt at doing conway's game of life in Garry's Mod using Expression Gate 2's as each 'cell' and indicators to show state.

This was spawned by this thread - HERE - over at the Wiremod Forums. Its completely wasteful, with each E2 dropping my FPS by about 5 frames/sec after building the 3rd line, but man was it gratifying to watch at the end.

The Adv. Dupe, ('cos no doubt someone will want it... God knows why...) can be found here (requires PHX) Conways_Game_Of_Life.txt and PASTE IT FROZEN! Without the chips frozen, they all try and rip themselves off the board.

To set the state of the 'game' use the buttons on the back, and to toggle running, press the large switch on the front.

The images below show the board running a glider, reading left to right.
