Well, I thought that watching the GameOfLife animation was fun (the extra 
random term avoids the fast convergence of the original game in many start
positions), but if you insist on more boring stuff... ;-)

Anyway, consider "GameOfLife.java" as GPLed. I attached a new testcase 
"FillRect.java" that calculates almost nothing (and uses only 64x64
instead of 128x64 rectangles. Twice as "fast" at 6 frames/second.)
