The '''Game of Life''' is a [[cellular automaton]] constructed by mathematician [[John Conway]] and popularized by [[Martin Gardner]]. The game starts with an infinite lattice of [[squares]]. Any cell is either has a [[bacterium]] (or is '''alive''') or does not have a bacterium (is '''dead''') and only a finite number start alive. The 8 surrounding squares of each cell make up its neighbors. At each iteration of the game the states of cells change based on the following rules:

Any cell is either has a [[bacterium]] (or is '''alive''') or does not have a bacterium (is '''dead''') and only a finite number start alive. The 8 surrounding squares of each cell make up its neighbors. At each iteration of the game the states of cells change based on the following rules:

# Any living cell with one or no neigbors becomes too lonely and dies.

# Any living cell with one or no neighbors becomes too lonely and dies.

# Any living cell with four or more neigbors becomes overcrowded and dies.  

# Any living cell with four or more neighbors becomes overcrowded and dies.  

# Any living cell with two or three neighbors stays alive.

# Any living cell with two or three neighbors stays alive.

# Any dead cell that has exactly three neighbors becomes alive.

# Any dead cell that has exactly three neighbors becomes alive.
