The game_of_life Package
game_of_life is a package based on the Conway's Game of Life. It computes
the configuration of the next generations of a grid of square cells, each of
which live or die according to two simple rules:
* A live cells with exactly 2 or 3 live neighbors remains alive, otherwise it
dies.
* A dead cell with 3 live neighbors becomes alive, otherwise it remains dead.
As simple as these rules may be, they can result in surprising complexity from
relatively simple initial configurations.
game_of_life provides three main functions:
* genzero: generates a matrix of ones and zeros
* conway: computes the configuration of the next generation of a square grid
* evolution: computes the evolution of a grid of square grid
Enjoy!
