A video of Conway's Game of Life, emulated in Conway's Game of Life.
The Life pattern is the OTCA Metapixel: http://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/OTCA_m... - for more information, see http://otcametapixel.blogspot.com.au/
The life simulator used is Golly - http://golly.sourceforge.net/ which has a built-in script to generate these metapixel grids (select a pattern, and choose "metafier.py" from the scripts list).
Inspired by this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtJ77q... but with the speed and scale varying smoothly over time, rather than in discrete jumps as the original video did.
The actual video is exported from Golly using a custom Python script: http://pastebin.com/8vVGCgKE (since Golly built-in only supports rendering the view with a scale which is a power of 2, for performance reasons - this is not a particularly well-optimised or fast script to run).
The audio track used to be a Shepard Tone, but that was horrible, so I replaced it with some of the music in YouTube's library (Jingle Punks - Back of the Room Hang)... if you really want to hear the original version, it is over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOwFv...
