ABSTRACT
In 1970 John Conway invented the game Life. It is a game that he initially invented to be played on a draughts board, or some other such grid. The squares on the board are called cells. If there is a counter in a cell the cell is said to be alive; if there is no counter the cell is said to be dead. The rules of the game are:
A cell will remain alive if it has either two or three neighbours. Otherwise it will die.
Birth occurs when a cell has exactly three live neigbours.
