This repository contains a conways game of life developped in python, but currently the project is not actually optimized.

What the conway's game of life is ?

The conway's game of life is a cellular automate made by John Horton Conway in 1970. It's a complex game simulation dispite the easy rules.

The rules of the conway's game of life are very easy to understand, the game is composed by a grid of tiles called cells, cells can have 2 differents states, dead or alive, and their state depend by the neighbors:

• 2 neighbors: the cells' state doesn't change.
• 3 neighbors: the cells' state becomes / stay alive
• others: the cells' state becomes / stays dead
