The Rules of the Game of Life | |||
- '''Death'''. If a cell is alive it will die under the following circumstances. | |||
Overpopulation: If the cell has four or more alive neighbors, it dies. | |||
Loneliness: If the cell has one or fewer alive neighbors, it dies. | |||
- '''Birth'''. If a cell is dead it will come to life if it has exactly three alive neighbors (no more, no less). | |||
- '''Stasis'''. In all other cases, the cell state does not change. To be thorough, let’s describe those scenarios. | |||
Staying Alive: If a cell is alive and has exactly two or three live neighbors, it stays alive. | |||
Staying Dead: If a cell is dead and has anything other than three live neighbors, it stays dead.<ref> | |||
