GO GOL: Game of Life using Go Lang

Iggy Kracji's semester project for my Parallel Programming class (CSC471) was to implement Conway's Game of Life using the Go programming language and the Google App Engine.
The purpose of the class was to design, implement and analyze programs that run on parallel architectures, so his output is not pretty, but functional.


You can check out Iggy's code and analysis, and test it yourself at the App Site.

For his Embedded Programming (RBT211) project this semester Ryan Carmain built a POV display using junk from around our hardware lab - principally the motor assembly of a Draganflyer (yes, those are propellers):
