About Code Project: Conway's Game Of Life

In this project, you will code some methods to implement a working version of Conway's Game of Life. Invented in the 1970s, the game models how a simple environment, represented by a grid, changes over time according to its initial configuration and a set of basic rules. The grid contains two types of cells: 1) cells that are alive (colored yellow), and 2) cells that are dead (colored grey). For each generation, the simulation checks to see whether a live cell will continue living, or an empty cell will become populated by a new live individual. This is determined by the number of neighbors surrounding the cell in question (all eight horizontal, vertical and diagonal neighbors are counted for each cell).
