Map: The Game of Life

The Game of Life is a cellular automaton where cells on the game board live, die, or are born according to simple rules.

Basic Concepts:

• A cell can be alive (■) or dead (□).
• Each cell has 8 neighbors (horizontally, vertically, and diagonally).

Rules (for each turn):

• Birth: If a dead cell has exactly 3 living neighbors, it becomes alive.
• Death from loneliness: If a living cell has fewer than 2 neighbors, it dies.
• Death from overpopulation: If a living cell has more than 3 neighbors, it dies.
• Survival: If a living cell has 2 or 3 neighbors, it remains alive.

How to Play?

• The player sets the initial placement of living cells on the game board.
• At each step ("generation"), the rules are applied to all cells simultaneously.
• Watch how the system evolves!

Warning! When simulating large cell configurations on weak and medium-spec devices, there will be lag and slowdown in the algorithm's performance.
