Conway's Life activity

[Ross Andrews]

The wiki says I should send this application to the list for comments,  
so here goes!

1. Project name             : Game of Life
2. Existing website, if any :
3. One-line description     : John Conway's Game of Life

4. Longer description       : This was one of the first cellular  
automata,
                             : invented by John Conway in 1970. It's  
fun to
                             : play with, encourages experimentation and
                             : discovery, and is hypnotic to watch.

5. URLs of similar projects :

6. Committer list
    Please list the maintainer (lead developer) as the first entry.  
Only list
    developers who need to be given accounts so that they can commit  
to your
    project's code repository, or push their own. There is no need to  
list
    non-committer developers.

7. Preferred development model

    [X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to  
the
        project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be  
familiar to
        CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most  
projects.

8. Set up a project mailing list:

    [X] No

9. Commit notifications

    [X] No commit notifications, please

10. Shell accounts

    None needed.

11. Translation
    [X] Set up the laptop.org Pootle server to allow translation  
commits to be made
    Translation requirements should be minimal. A few labels, that's it.

12. Notes/comments:
    I have a version in development that works (using Pygame) but  
isn't integrated into Sugar yet (still working on that). I think this  
is pretty well suited to the XO hardware since it can be controlled  
easily in tablet mode, works fine in monochrome, doesn't need battery- 
consuming animation or complex graphics.
