for windows: http://psoup.math.wisc.edu/Life32.html
for the calc:
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/146/14649.html
run it from a shell, or have something after it on the command line:
Asm(life2:  that will make it start with random data (from rom)
to have a specific combination, draw on the graph screen & save a pic. 
then use a basic prog like this:
:RcPic etc...
:Asm(life2
make sure there's nothing else on the line after the Asm( call.

the windows prog will let you do almost anything you want, even change
the rules.
somebody made a "finite state machine" with these rules.
