The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.
You can access my web application of Conway's game of life here.
The world of Game of life is typically a two-dimentional infinitely long plane. But in this application we are restricted to the size of the screen. This plane is divided into small square cells with each of them in two possible states, live or dead.
The rules of Game of Life are:
- A live cell with fewer than two live neighbouring cells dies (underpopulation)
- A live cell with more than three live neighbouring cells dies (overpopulation)
- A live cell with two or three live neighbouring survives
- A dead cell with three neighbourig cells becomes a live cell (reproduction)
