Simon Wells is an academic researching Argumentation Theory, Automated Reasoning, Intelligent Agents (IA) and MultiAgent Systems (MAS) all approached through a ludic lens.
He is particularly interested in how these tools can be usefully applied to critical literacy, security, gamification, and complex systems.

Here we have a version of Conway's Game of Life implemented in LittleBigPlanet:
Conway's Game of Life Screencast
This is the only coursework 2 screencast that I received for the gallery so it gets a front page post all to itself:
This project shows an extension to the basic requirements of the coursework, which was to develop a one dimensional CA. In this case we have a two dimensional CA that implements Conway's Game of Life rules.
Fun with the Game of Life
Some of you did a version of Conway's Game Of Life for your cellular automata coursework. To show you a little of what can be done with this take a look at the following movie which builds on the Golly software:
