Brian's Brain is a cellular automata rule. The first demo projects the
space onto a cube. The second demo renders each step "through space".
Ikarus really shines here. Cellular automata simulations are an area
were few Schemes provide good performance on large spaces.
I got a little carried away today. :-)
Mirek Wójtowicz is the author of MCell, a very nice cellular automata
explorer:

His site has a lexicon of rules in various families:

One of the nicest is the 'generations' family. Today I added an engine
for exploring these to Agave. The 'life' family of rules are actually
S/B/C rules with 'C' set to 2, so this engine can run those as well. The
engine is pretty small, weighing in at 248 lines:

A bunch of demos that use the new engine:
agave/demos/ca-belzhab.scm
agave/demos/ca-brians-brain.scm
agave/demos/ca-seeds.scm
agave/demos/ca-spirals.scm
agave/demos/ca-star-wars.scm
agave/demos/ca-walled-cities.scm
