The "Game Of Life" is an evolution simulation. Each tile is a critter/cell is either alive(black) or dead(white). The game progresses through various generations of cells/critters using the following rules:

- Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population.
- Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
- Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
- Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

As the game progresses interesting patterns, chain effects and spontaneous behaviours arise. This app allows you to carefully examine these interesting phenomenon in great detail.
