Conway's Life Patterns

Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton created by mathematician John Conway. It involves a grid of cells, each of which can be either alive or dead based on simple rules. Over successive generations, cells interact with their neighbors, leading to fascinating and complex patterns. Some notable patterns include *still lifes* (stable and unchanging), *oscillators* (periodically change state), and *gliders* (move across the grid). The game exemplifies how simple rules can generate intricate behavior, illustrating concepts in mathematics, biology, and computer science. It’s a model for studying emergent phenomena from basic interactions.
