Rules

Every cell looks at its eight neighbors. Cells past the edge of the board count as dead. Each generation:

  1. A live cell with fewer than two live neighbors dies, as if by underpopulation.

  2. A live cell with two or three live neighbors lives on.

  3. A live cell with more than three live neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation.

  4. A dead cell with exactly three live neighbors comes alive, as if by reproduction.
