Conway's Game of Life on Arduino

The Arduino microcontroller board is wired up to a Nokia 1202 LCD via a CD4050 buffer chip. The bit-maps of the cells in the game take up nearly all the RAM on the AVR microcontroller chip. New generations are displayed at a rate of about ten per second. Screen resolution is 96x68 pixels.

 

I didn't have an apostrophe in the rather rudimentary font that I use with the 1202 display, so I had to leave it out of "Conway's".
