Game of Life

The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by the mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. It is a zero-player game, which means its evolution is determined solely by its initial state.

The game is played on a two-dimensional grid made up of living or dead cells. Each cell interacts with its eight surrounding neighbours based on the following rules:

1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies through underpopulation.

2. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours also dies through overcrowding.

3. Any live cell with two or three neighbours lives on.

4. Any dead cell with three neighbours will come to life.
