The Game of Life was devised by the British Matematician John Horton Conway in 1970.

It's cellular automaton with the following rules:

• if empty cell has 3 neighboors, it becomes live
• if live cell has 2 or 3 neighboors, it remains live
• if live cell has 0, 1 or more than 3 neighboors, it dies and becomes empty
• if empty cell has less or more than 3 neighboors, it remains empty

Here is Game of Life implementation. You could see evolution of random initial configuration.

Control keys: [p] - pause evolution [r] - run evolution again [n] - go to the next evolution step (works when on pause)

You could see current iteration at the top left corner.
