Per wikipedia:
Game of life is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in
1970. It
is a zero-player game,
meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One
interacts
with the Game
of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves.
Rules:
You can click on each square to toggle its status. After generating a new board, an inital life will be there to showcase the game's logic. If you generate a 50x50 board (inital on page load), the sample life generated will be a bit more complex.
