A JavaScript canvas representing a 2D grid of 'cells' which can be alive or dead. On discrete time-steps, each cell updates according to a simple rule:
- If the cell is alive and has two or three living neighbors, it remains alive. otherwise, it dies, conceptually via starvation or overpopulation.
- If the cell is dead and has three living neighbors, it becomes alive. otherwise, it remains dead.
In this implementation, the grid is a typed array, and the alive/dead is flagged by the third byte.
