The Game of Life (simulation)

The Game of Life (simulation) is a cellular automaton where a grid of cells evolves step-by-step based on simple rules. Each cell can be alive or dead. For each generation, a cell's next state depends on the number of neighboring live cells: a live cell stays alive if it has two or three neighbors; a dead cell becomes alive if it has exactly three neighbors. This process creates complex patterns over time, demonstrating how simple rules can produce unpredictable and fascinating behavior, illustrating emergent complexity from basic interactions.
