You can play "Conway's Game of Life" with FFmpeg command line tool. I'm not kidding.
Let's generate GIF animation with worldsize=60x60 generation=500.
$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i life=s=60x60 -vframes 500 lifegame.gif
OK, here is decorated version:
$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i life=s=60x60:life_color=00ff00:ratio=.5 \
-sws_flags neighbor -vf scale=360:360,drawgrid=w=6:h=6 \
-vframes 500 lifegame.gif
Enjoy!

Ah cool!
Is this just an Easter egg?
FYI: "life source" was available from anchent version 0.9 (commitlog). The author said "proof of concept" (ml-post) :D
RIP John Conway (xkcd.com)
