This is Conway's Game of Life! Place cells by clicking into the box to the left. Then click on Start Simulation below the box.

The simulation works according to 4 simple rules:

1. A cell with fewer than two neighbours dies.
2. A cell with two or three neighbours lives on.
3. A cell with more than three neighbours dies.
4. On a grid position with exactly three neighbours, a new cell is placed.

Place some cells and try it out! If what you're seeing is not interesting enough, try to place more cells. Don't spread them out too much!

This is a quick prototype that I made within a few hours. Do you like it? Think it should be better? Let me know!
