 GPULife. This is a screensaver which displays Conway's Game of Life. It is unique in that it runs the rules of Life entirely on the video card, rather than on the CPU as is normally done. As a result of this, it has enormous system requirements compared to other Life programs, but it runs fast and uses almost no CPU time.

 Creatures. This is an artificial life program.
Animals live in Creatures' artificial world, seeking food, reproducing, and trying not to die. Each animal is controlled by a small computer program; the animal's brain. Occasionally, an animal's program is mutated at random. Most of the time, the mutation is bad: the program stops working, and the animal dies. But sometimes, the change is useful, and the animal passes its changed program on to its children. Successful changes spread through the population, and the animals evolve. Design your own artificial worlds, write
your own programs in a custom assembly language, and explore the process
of evolution and natural selection.
