The last future topic poll had a clear winner: The Game of Life.
This thing is very simple to make but it allows for amazing complexity and amazing creations! It's perhaps the most famous example of a 2d cellular automaton and I'm sure that in the future we'll look at this topic further because its full of good video ideas.
Enjoy!

oww wow that looks really cool. Somehow I can't get it going in fullscreen though.
Okay, definitely having way too much fun with this one. https://www.shadertoy.com/view/slKGD3 Seeding the field with some vertical lines is giving me some Sierpinski Triangle-like structures as well as some lovely mirroring effects.
A few more updates: Some defines to control scaling of size and update frames (so you can have chunkier pixels and slower evolutions), but what turned out even more fun was fading out the dead pixels over the course of several frames: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/7lV3zd
