Game of Life App

The Game of Life is a simulated world that consists of an array of cells each of which is either occupied (yellow) or empty (red).

The game begins by selecting a starting set of occupied cells.

The game continues by following some simple rules to advance to repeated advance to the “next generation” of occupied cells.

The next generation of cells is determined as follows:

If a cell is occupied and 2 or 3 of its 8 closest cells are occupied, it survives into the next generation otherwise it becomes unoccupied in the next generation.

If a cell is not occupied and exactly 3 of its 8 closest cells are occupied, it becomes occupied in the next generation.

The Game of Life was developed by John Conway in 1970. The game was brought to the attention of the general public by Martin Gardner in his Mathematical Games column in Scientific American magazine.
