+ Conway's "Life"
+ 
+ Writen for the LoL Shield, designed by Jimmie Rodgers:

+ 
+ This needs the Charliplexing library, which you can get at the
+ LoL Shield project page: http://code.google.com/p/lolshield/
+ 
+ Created by Jimmie Rodgers on 12/30/2009.
+ Adapted from: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/DirectDriveLEDMatrix
