John Conway's Game of Life

See Wikipedia to learn about this fascinating game. The rules are:

• A "cell" (blue square) will die on the next iteration of the game if it has strictly less than 2 (out of loneliness) or more than 3 (out of overpopulation) neighboring cells (including diagonals)
• A new cell will come alive on an empty space if it has exactly 3 live neighbors

Use the controls below to start/stop the simulation, tweak speed, load and save some starting layouts, change speed etc...
