The initial application only took a few hours. It uses Windows Forms (.NET 2.0). The part that actually shows the cells is really a picturebox with a bitmap set as it's background. I basically run the GOL algorithm on a 2-D array, draw to a Bitmap object, then set that object as the picturebox's background. It actually worked out pretty well. It isn't demonstrated in the video, but you can click on cells to set their status to alive or dead, which means you can create your own patterns as well.
Looks nice!
I've written one too with some more features (also made a video of it ;-) ). Maybe I will also add an option to show recently died cells.
Good work!

I would love to but unfortunately it was lost along with my XNA Maze Generator source :(
If I get some free time I plan on re-creating them though.
