Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton simulation that demonstrates emergent behavior from simple rules. Cells on a grid evolve over generations based on the state of their neighbors.
To run the Game of Life simulation, simply open the index.html file in a web browser. You can interact with the simulation using the provided buttons and observe how different patterns evolve over time.
- Start and stop the simulation.
- Progress the simulation step by step.
- Reset the grid to its initial state.
- View the rules of Conway's Game of Life.
-
Start and Stop: Use the "Start" and "Stop" buttons to control the continuous simulation. Watch how the cells evolve over generations.
-
Next Step: Use the "Next Step" button to progress the simulation one step at a time. This allows you to observe how individual cells change state.
-
Reset: The "Reset" button clears the grid and stops the simulation. You can start with a clean slate or set up your own initial configuration.
-
Rules: Click the "Rules" button to learn about the rules that govern the evolution of cells in Conway's Game of Life.
Feel free to modify the grid dimensions, speed of simulation, or add your own initial patterns to the index.html file's JavaScript section.

This project is still undergoing many changes: the main goal is to provide an entertaining tool to simulate Conway's Game of Life in an interactive way, by finding the "best" starting configuration and find out the amazing and complex pattern that can be discovered. New features are going to be added like longest streak, pre-load starting configuration and... so on!
