"Life" is fascinating program. Click on some of the cells in the grid to create/erase "life" forms, then press Go. Each new generation is created according to the following rules:

• IF a cell has 0 or 1 neighbor, it dies of loneliness.
• If a cell has 2 neighbors, there is no change.
• If a cell has 3 neighbors, it will exist in the next generation (even if there was no life there during the current generation.)
• If a cell has more than 3 neighbors, it dies of overcrowding.
  (This rule based automata was developed By John H. Conway.)
