Game of Life : Verilog Style

Simple Game of Life implementation done in verilog for the Basys 2 Spartan-3E FPGA.

This project was done in collaboration with GalaxiasKyklos

---

The Game of Life is not your typical computer game. It is a 'cellular automaton', and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway.¹

The Rules

For a space that is 'populated':

• Each cell with one or no neighbors dies, as if by solitude.
• Each cell with four or more neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation.
• Each cell with two or three neighbors survives.

For a space that is 'empty' or 'unpopulated'

• Each cell with three neighbors becomes populated.
