Game of Life

Based on the British mathematician Conway's Game of Life, this application simulates cell reproduction in a very simple way. The user starts by putting cells in the tiles of his choice on the grid and launches it. During each step, cells are born or die, depending on how many cells are around them. If there are too many or not enough, the cell will die, if there are just enough, a cell will be born. This very simple procedure gives a surprisingly good simulation of cell growth and can lead to interesting studies of stable patterns, which after a certain amount of steps come back to their original position.
