Conway's Game of Life
Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton invented by mathematician John Conway. It's a zero-player game that simulates how simple rules can lead to complex patterns. The game is played on a grid of cells, each of which can be either alive or dead. At each step, the state of each cell is determined by its eight neighbors, following these rules: a living cell survives with 2-3 neighbors, a dead cell becomes alive with exactly 3 neighbors, and otherwise, cells die or remain dead. This process creates intricate behaviors that resemble life-like movements and structures.
