64 Led Game of Life on a thumbdrive

[montoyaaguirre]

Hey guys. I want to share this project I've been working on. It is a small device that runs the Game of Life on a tiny 8x8 LED matrix. It is powered from USB and it is roughly the same size as a thumb-drive. You can pause the evolution and step through generations using a knob or resume it and control the speed using the knob. It can be run as an 8x8 Plane or Tour. The initial state is randomly generated.

Here is a render of the device:

I am running a crowd-funding campaign to see if this project is interesting for enough people: http://bit.ly/Y52mKA

Lol that's really cool but I think the flash drive thing is cheesy.

If you were to make keychains with the matrix on them and a solar panel and an on/off switch, I would like the first copy signed by you.

Ooh i am interested, but how would you edit the pattern?
