Game of Life Cellular Automata
In the late 1960s British mathematician John Conway invented a virtual mathematical machine that operates on a two-dimensional array of square cell. Each cell takes two states, live and dead. The cells states are updated simultaneously and in discrete time. A dead cell comes to life if it has exact...
