Game of Life is a cellular automaton and is run by placing a number of filled cells (alive cells) on a two-dimensional grid. Each generation then switches cells on or off depending on the state of the cells that surround it. The rules are simple and defined as follows. All eight of the cells surrounding the current one are checked to see if they are on or not. Any cells that are on are counted, and this count is then used to determine what will happen to the current cell. 1. Death: if the count is less than 2 or greater than 3, the current cell is switched off. 2. Survival: if (a) the count is exactly 2, or (b) the count is exactly 3 and the current cell is on, the current cell is left unchanged. 3. Birth: if the current cell is off and the count is exactly 3, the current cell is switched on. You can copy the javascript program of the cellular automaton... Feel free to modify it or improve it!
