The Game of Life
John Horton Conway's Game of Life is a zero-player game. You create an initial state and then watch as it evolves. Cells are either alive or dead, and they evolve according to 4 rules:
- Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbors dies, as if by underpopulation.
- Any live cell with two or three live neighbors lives on to the next generation.
- Any live cell with more than three live neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation.
- Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
This simulation stops every 100 iterations, or if the cells have reached a static state. The cells become more grey as they age. You can design your own starting position, or use the random generator.
