The Game of Life is a zero-player game. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration (the seed) and observing its evolution over time.

Rules:
The Game of Life is played on a 2-dimensional grid of square cells. Each cell is in one of 2 possible states (either it isalive or dead). Its neighbors are the cells horizontally, vertically, and diagonally adjacent to it.

Each generation (step in time), the following transitions occur:
1) Any live cell with fewer than 2 neighbors dies, as if by under-population.
2) Any live cell with two or three neighbors lives on to the next generation.
3) Any live cell with more than three neighbors dies, as if by over-population.
4) Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
