There's a disk called Gizmoz with a whole load of utilities on it including a
pretty good version of Life (320 x 200, about 17Hz), sorry I can't email the
Life program but it's not PD.

Gravity simulator should be easy enough to program in C, I've a version of it
myself I've been meaning to finish for the last few months.
