A one player version of John Conway's zero player "game of life".
NOTE: The browser version is somewhat playable, but NOT recommended, as it runs poorly, I removed the music, and some features do not work.
As Conway recently passed away from COVID-19, this game serves as a tribute to his life and his work in mathematics.
From Wikipedia:
The universe of the Game of Life is a two-dimensional orthogonal grid of square cells, each of which is in one of two possible states, alive or dead, (or populated and unpopulated, respectively). Every cell interacts with its eight neighbours, which are the cells that are horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent. At each step in time, the following transitions occur:
Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation.
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 overpopulation.
Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
