About the game

• The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.
• The game is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input.
• One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves.

Rules of the game

• Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population.
• Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
• Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
• Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
