Game of Life

The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by mathematician John Conway in 1970.
It is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, with no further input.
The game consists of a grid of cells, each of which can be in one of two states: alive or dead.

The evolution of the game is governed by simple rules:

• Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbors dies (underpopulation).
• Any live cell with two or three live neighbors lives on to the next generation.
• Any live cell with more than three live neighbors dies (overpopulation).
• Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell (reproduction).

To interact with the game, click on cells to toggle their state.
Experiment with different initial configurations and observe how the patterns evolve over time.
