Rules

These are the genearl rules applied to Conway's game of life

• There is assumed to be an infinite sheet of square cells which has initially some dead and alive cells.
• This is a active (live) cell
  This is inactive (dead) cell
• All the eight cells ajdacent to a cell are neighbours.

  Note that, corner and side cells may have different number of neighbours, since we are dealing on finite sheet of cells
• Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation.
• Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
• Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.
• Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
