Welcome to Conway's Game of Life

Rules

Any live cell with two or three live neighbours survives

Any dead cell with three live neighbours becomes a live cell.

All other live cells die in the next generation. Similarly, all other dead cells stay dead.

About

Conway's Game of Life was invented in 1970 by British mathematician John Horton Conway.

To interact with the Game of Life, one sets a configuration of alive and dead cells on a grid and observes how it evolves.

This rendition includes a few premade patterns to enjoy, as well as a randomizer for quick simulations.
