Abstract
This paper demonstrates how very complicated Life forms can easily be created using the interactive Life program introduced by James Gilbert [1]. By having control over just a single cell, called the intelligent cell, a glider gun can be created in under 250 generations. Note that the standard rules of Life apply to the intelligent cell as well as the other cells.
