The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. It is the best-known example of a cellular automaton.

The "game" is actually a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, needing no input from human players. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves.

Rules


The universe of the Game of Life is an infinite two-dimensional grid of cells, each of which is either alive or dead. Cells interact with their eight neighbours, which are the cells that are directly horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent. At each step in time, the following effects occur:
