Conway's Game of Life

Rules

• If a cell has 0-1 neighbors, it dies due to solitude.

[*][ ][ ]       [ ][ ][ ]
[ ][*][ ]   ->  [ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ]       [ ][ ][ ]

• If a cell has 2-3 neighbors, it survives.

[*][ ][ ]       [ ][ ][ ]
[ ][*][ ]   ->  [*][*][ ]
[ ][*][ ]       [ ][ ][ ]

• If a cell has 4 or more neighbors, it dies due to overpopulation.

[*][ ][*]       [*][ ][ ]
[*][*][ ]   ->  [*][ ][ ]
[ ][*][*]       [*][*][*]

• If 3 neighbors are populated, then empty cell becomes populated.

[*][ ][ ]       [ ][ ][ ]
[*][ ][ ]   ->  [*][*][ ]
[ ][*][ ]       [ ][ ][ ]
