Conway's Game of Life, devised by mathematician John Conway in 1970, is a 0-player game, meaning that once the initial state is set, the game's evolution proceeds autonomously according to the rules.

How to play:

  • Select the initial state of the board
  • Space: pause the iteration
  • Enter: return to the main menu

The game operates on a grid of cells, each of which can be in one of two states: alive or dead. The state of each cell evolves over time based on the following rules:

  • Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbors dies, as if by underpopulation.
  • Any live cell with two or three live neighbors lives on to the next generation.
  • Any live cell with more than three live neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation.
  • Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

Features:

  • Menu Selector
  • Stats
  • Simulation

This game was made in honor of my High School Computer Science Teacher
