-John Conway's Game of Life
-
-The Rules
----------
-The Game of Life was invented by John Conway (as you might have gathered).
-The game is played on a field of cells, each of which has eight neighbors (adjacent cells).
-A cell is either occupied (by an organism) or not.
-The rules for deriving a generation from the previous one are these:
-
-Survival
---------
-If an occupied cell has 2 or 3 neighbors, the organism survives to the next generation.
-
-Death
------
-If an occupied cell has 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 occupied neighbors, the organism dies
-(0, 1: of loneliness; 4 thru 8: of overcrowding).
-
-Birth
------
-If an unoccupied cell has 3 occupied neighbors, it becomes occupied.
