{"product_id":"conways-game-of-life-kit-v13","title":"Conway's Game of Life Kit (v1.3)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1970, John Conway came up with a 1-player game called Game of Life. The Game of Life is a mathematical game that simulates 'colonies' that grow or die based on how crowded or lonely they are and is known for the way it creates a beautiful organic display out of randomness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is a design for a simple electronic project that plays Conway's Game of Life. Make one kit and keep it on your desk, or attach multiple kit modules together to create a large display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally created by Dropout Design, this revision adds a few extra features. The kit is very easy to make and an excellent first electronics\/soldering project. It is perfect for workshops since at the end everyone can connect their completed module together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe animated GIF above shows 4 modules connected together. Each kit comes unassembled and includes all parts necessary for one module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach kit displays a 4x4 grid (16 LEDs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect as many kits as youd like, in any configuration, to create a larger game board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns off of 2 AA batteries (not included), but can be easily modified to run off of USB or wall-wart power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn\/Off button to save power, also for resetting the display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatically resets if the colony has died or stagnated (regeneration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackwards compatible with older versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's tons more to read about the project, including directions at the website!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePCB CAD files and firmware available in the product tutorial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCB only: 71mm x 71mm x 1.6mm (2.8in x 2.8in x 0.06in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembled (not including AA baterly holder):71mm x 71mm x 12.5mm (2.8in x 2.8in x 0.5in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46039292772412,"sku":"znh1787257477895","price":7.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/6985\/2220\/files\/conways-game-of-life-kit-v13_1.jpg?v=1787257486","url":"https:\/\/luxecladstore.shop\/products\/conways-game-of-life-kit-v13","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
