The so called Game of Life (or GoL in short) is a 'cellular automaton', a type of simulation that works on a regular grid of cells and in discrete time-steps. For every time-step a set of rules is enforced for every cell, determining it's state. In most cellular automaton there are only two states 'living' and 'dead'. Depending on the rules and other constrains of the simulation, complex patterns might occur and this project will try to take these patterns and represent them as notes in a 'cellular automaton synthesizer'. | The so called Game of Life (or GoL in short) is a 'cellular automaton', a type of simulation that works on a regular grid of cells and in discrete time-steps.
