Animated Conway's Game of Life using Matplotlib
The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. It 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. It is Turing complete and can simulate a universal constructor or any other Turing machine.
This version of The Game of Life is implemented with the following classical rules:
1. Any dead cell with three live neighbours becomes a live cell.
2. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation. Otherwise, it dies.
I have developed it with comments so that everyone with a basic knowledge of Python can follow and understand the code. No previous knowkedge of Cellular Automata is required to understand it.
