The Rules of the Game
vA game in the sense of a simple set of rules that can give rise to
complex behavior, rather than in the sense of several players competing.
vThe game is played
on a 2 dimensional array of cells.
vEach cell is either
alive or dead. We are given some starting
configuration of live and dead cells.
vAt each step, we
compute the next state of the array.
vThe game continues
indefinitely, although obviously you'll want to stop it at some point.
