About Conway's Game of Life

Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by mathematician John Conway in 1970. The game is a zero-player game, meaning its evolution is determined by its initial state, with no further input needed.

The universe of the Game of Life is an infinite, two-dimensional grid of cells, each of which can be either alive or dead. The standard rules are:

Click on the grid to draw living cells. Use the controls to start, stop, and manipulate the simulation.
