Conway's Game of Life

In the game of life, the state of cells is determined by 4 rules:

• loniliness: a live cell with less than 2 neighbours dies.
• overcrowding: a live cell with more than 3 neighbours dies.
• reproduction: an empty cell with 3 neighbours comes to life.
• statis: a live cell with exactly 2 neighbours stays alive.

Click the 'iterate' button to see the next generation,
click a checkbox to change the status of a cell yourself.

Many basic patterns are available here.
