There is a more recent and even cooler (although equally contrived) 
variation of this idea which uses streams of lightweight spaceships (ie. 
horizontally/vertically moving glider-like patterns) to allow the 
construction of "pixel" like patterns.  You can then program these 
pixels to simulate the game of life in a way which is visually very easy 
to see:
