Conway's Game of Life in Java + Processing

Описание: Conway's game of life is a classic programming exercise. In this challenge I build Conway's Game of Life, which is a simple simulator using cells and one of the most iconic examples of Cellular Automaton. Black is used to represent 'alive' cells while white symbolises 'dead' cells.

In each generation the state of a cell is determined by the number of alive cells it is surrounded by in the previous generation. Too many and it will die from over population, too few and it will suffer under population. If a dead cell has the correct number of neighbours it can be brought back to life due to population expansion.

The cells are stored in an integer array (as different forms of cellular automaton use different rules and cell states, you could try coming up with your own!).

Hope you enjoy the episode!
