The Conway’s Game of life

Three simple rules:

Each cell looks around in its Moore neighborhood (that is, its 8 immediate neighbors) and decide whether to stay in the same state, become alive, or die according to how many alive neighbors it has:

  • if at least 2 of the neighboring cells are alive, stay what you are
  • if at least 3 of the neighboring cells are alive, become alive
  • otherwise, die
