Description

GtkLife is a fast, featureful, open-source Conway's Life program.

Conway's Life is a form of artificial life (specifically, a cellular automaton)- one of the simplest there is. There are only a few rules:

The game is played on a rectangular grid, where each cell is either alive or dead.
Each generation is computed from the state of the previous generation, using rules 3 and 4:
A live cell with 2 or 3 live neighbors (adjacent cells, including diagonals) lives on. Otherwise it dies.
A dead cell with exactly 3 live neighbors comes to life. 

That's all there is to it. Yet fascinating behavior arises from these simple rules.
