Desmos

Typically Desmos is used as a graphing calculator to plot functions from \( \mathbb{R}\) to \(\mathbb{R}\). It does, however, have lesser known features like lists, list comprehension, polygons, and the full scope of RGB colors, which allow us to do so much more. How much more?

A common exercise in introductory computer science courses will ask students to implement Conway's Game of Life. While to my knowledge no such course quite exists for Desmos, enthusiasts will take it upon themselves to give it a stab.
