Are there any other interesting programs like this? I've always been a fan of things like Conway's Game of Life.

There are a few life simulator projects, OpenWorm is another really interesting one for example. What I'd like to see is a distributed version of ALIEN where it runs kind of like seti@home, then you could build out a massive ecosystem of virtual life to see what happens.

I never even considered that! What a phenomenal idea.

I wish this used open cl so it could be used on an AMD video card.
