<h1>The Way of Life</h1>
<p><strong>Click or touch the screen to add new cells.</strong></p>
<p>
The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life">Conway's game of life</a> features an infinite grid of square cells which can be alive or dead. Each cell interacts with its eight neighbours following two rules:
</p>
<ol>
<li>An empty cell that has exactly 3 neighbors is "born" into in the next generation.</li>
<li>An occupied cell that has exactly 2 or 3 neighbors survives to the next generation. Otherwise, its occupant dies (of loneliness or overcrowding).</li>
</ol>
<p>There is a one line implementation of this game in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language)">APL</a>:</p>
<p class="APL">
<a href="https://dfns.dyalog.com/n_life.htm">
life←{ ↑1 ⍵∨.∧3 4=+/,¯1 0 1∘.⊖¯1 0 1∘.⌽⊂⍵ }
</a>
</p>
<p>What you are seeing is a more naïve javascript implementation of conway's game of life using an HTML canvas to draw it.</p>
<p>This implementation features a universe that is a torus, ie. screen borders are connected and a cell that goes through the right border will reappear on the left one.</p>
