This is a simple, console-based version of Conway's Game of Life written in Ruby. The board is randomly seeded on initialization.
To play, simply run game.rb in your terminal. The program will prompt you for a grid size and a seed value. A lower value correlates to a larger distribution of ‘live’ squares.
I find the most interesting results at a grid size of about 60 x 60 and a seed value of around 10.
