Cellular Automata: Conway's Game of Life

Game of Life is a cellular automation devised the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.

On a 2D grid each cell can be "alive" or "dead". You, as a player, set the initial state and then observe as life emerges based on Conway's 4 simple rules.

This version of it tries to make it look pretty and includes all 732 patterns from the Life Lexicon.

Game of Life 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.
