Explore the world of cellular automata on a large 24x51 grid.
Conways Game of Life is a simulation of a theoretical universe which consists of 4 basic rules:

1. A live (black) cell with fewer than 2 live neighbours will die (turn white) of loneliness.

2. A live cell with 2 or 3 cells will stay alive on the next generation.

3. A live cell with more than 3 live neighbours will die of overcrowding.

4. A dead cell with exactly 3 neighbours will become alive.

You can manipulate birth and death rules to discover unique patterns and shapes, with 324 different possible combinations of rules.
