Conway's Game of Life is a console application built with Clojure. It is a zero player game where an initial game state evolves based on the position of the cells on the board.
The game is played on a two dimensional grid where alive (populated) cells are filled and dead (non-populated) cells are blank. Each cell is surrounded by up to eight neigboring cells. The state of the board from generation to generation is determined by four 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 over-population.
- Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
New generations continue to evolve indefinitely unless all cells die or are grouped into smaller clusters not close enough to reproduce.
