Welcome to Conway's Game of Life!

This is an interactive implementation of John Conway's famous cellular automaton. The Game of Life is a zero-player game, meaning its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input.

You can:

Click on cells to toggle them alive/dead
Drag to pan around the infinite grid
Use the controls to start, stop, or clear the simulation
Adjust the animation speed with the delay slider
Explore predefined patterns

Try creating some interesting patterns and watch how they evolve over time!

The Rules

Conway's Game of Life follows four simple rules:

Underpopulation: Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbors dies, as if by underpopulation.
Survival: Any live cell with two or three live neighbors lives on to the next generation.
Overpopulation: Any live cell with more than three live neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation.
Reproduction: Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

These simple rules create complex and fascinating patterns that can evolve in unexpected ways!
