This is a huge loss to the mathematical community and to the world more broadly. RIP John Conway. \n\n In the Game of Life we set a world of cells and apply a series of rules to them in each 'tick', the tick represents the discrete moment in time where the state of the world changes. This tick changes the state, living or dead, of all of the cells.\n\nthe rules: \n\n1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation. \n2. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation. \n3. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation. \n4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction. \n\nYou will set dimensions of the world and the initial state of the cells by selecting coordinates and watch how they behave.";
