John Conway is a professor of Finite Mathematics at Princeton University.
Conway invented a cellular automaton game called Life, which was meant to simulate the ecology of one-celled creatures but is mostly a lot of fun. [1]
Life is probably the most often programmed computer game in existence. [ibid]
