Conway's Game of Life

The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.

Rules:

• Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation.
• 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 overpopulation.
• Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

Goals:

The goal of the Game of Life is to observe how the initial configuration of cells evolves over time. The game simulates cellular evolution, illustrating how complex patterns and behaviors can emerge from simple rules. It can be used to model and understand various natural and artificial systems.

Instructions:

You can draw with the mouse to set or remove a cell even when the animation is running.
