This is a real neat idea. I've never heard of Conway's Game of Life before, but after reading about it, I was super facinated by the simple rules. It's fun to watch too!

Wikipedia for those wondering:

I gave it a shot, and made a red team and a blue team. Rule 4 (Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction) was modified so that the new cell took on the colour of the majority of the 3 neighbour cells.
