This is an implementation of the Game of Life as described by mathematician John Conway.

The rules of the Game of Life are very simple and they are

1. Each cell with one or no neighbors dies, as if by loneliness.
2. Each cell with four or more neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation.
3. Each cell with two or three neighbors survives.
4. Each cell with three neighbors becomes populated.
