here is my really hideous code (but it uses opengl so its pretty!):

### gol.rb ###

class Cell

  attr_accessor :state, :next_state

  def initialize( state )

    @state =3D state

  end

  def alive?

    @state =3D=3D 1

  end

end

class Game

  attr_accessor :board

  def initialize( board_size )

    @board =3D Array.new

    board_size.times do |i|

      @board[i] =3D Array.new

      board_size.times do |j|

        @board[i][j] =3D Cell.new( rand(2) ) # 0 means start with no
cell, 1 means start with a living cell

      end

    end

  end

  def update_board

    @board.each_index do |i|

      @board[i].each_index do |j|

        if ( @board[i][j].alive? and ( ( count_living_neighbors( i,
j ) < 2 ) or ( count_living_neighbors( i, j ) > 3 ) ) )

          @board[i][j].next_state =3D 0

        elsif ( @board[i][j].alive? and ( count_living_neighbors( i,
j ) =3D=3D 2 or ( count_living_neighbors( i, j ) =3D=3D 3 ) ) )

          @board[i][j].next_state =3D 1

        elsif ( !@board[i][j].alive? and count_living_neighbors( i,
j ) =3D=3D 3 )

          @board[i][j].next_state =3D 1

        else

          @board[i][j].next_state =3D @board[i][j].state

        end

      end

    end

    @board.each_index do |i|

      @board[i].each_index do |j|

        @board[i][j].state =3D @board[i][j].next_state

      end

    end

  end

  def count_living_neighbors( i, j )

    sum =3D 0

    sum +=3D 1 if i - 1 >=3D 0 and j - 1 >=3D 0 and @board[i - 1][j -
1].alive?
    sum +=3D 1 if i - 1 >=3D 0 and @board[i - 1][j].alive?
    sum +=3D 1 if i - 1 >=3D 0 and j + 1 < @board.size and @board[i - 1][j
+ 1].alive?
    sum +=3D 1 if j - 1 >=3D 0 and @board[i][j - 1].alive?
    sum +=3D 1 if j + 1 < @board.size and @board[i][j + 1].alive?
    sum +=3D 1 if i + 1 < @board.size and j - 1 >=3D 0 and @board[i + 1][j
- 1].alive?
    sum +=3D 1 if i + 1 < @board.size and @board[i + 1][j].alive?
    sum +=3D 1 if i + 1 < @board.size and j + 1 < @board.size and @board
[i + 1][j + 1].alive?

    return sum

  end

end
