Conway’s Game of Life

Conway’s Game of Life is a simulation of an ecosystem that consists of binary cells on a toroidal grid. Cells exhibit the following behaviour:

• A live cell with less than two live neighbours will die due to underpopulation;
• A live cell with two or three live neighbours will live on;
• A live cell with more than three neighbours will die due to overpopulation;
• A dead cell with three live neighbours will gain life through reproduction.

You can interact with the simulation by pressing on cells. This will toggle them between live and dead states. Beware that even the tiniest change can cause mayhem across the ecosystem!

This is demo application was built by Chun Fei Lung using TypeScript and React. You can find the source code on GitHub. Feel free to create an issue if you have any questions about this demo.
