Tetra entered two demos into this challenge, one of them was faking a 3D rotation, the other displayed the popular cellular automation algorithm.
Unfortunately one of the entries (3D in 20 lines) is lost because Tetra's hosting died. Fortunately I managed to find a copy of the life program in my recycle bin! This is the only one included here, Tetra, please contact me if you still have the 3D in 20 program and I'll add it to the zip.
