Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by mathematician John Conway in 1970. It is a zero-player game, meaning that its progression is determined by its initial state, with no further input required. The game is a classic example of emergent complexity and is known for its ability to create diverse patterns and behaviors from simple rules.

The game is played on a grid of cells, where each cell can be in one of two states: alive or dead.
- Birth: A dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes alive (reproduction).
- Survival: A live cell with two or three live neighbors remains alive.
- Death: In all other cases, a cell dies or remains dead.
These simple rules give rise to complex and fascinating patterns and can be used to simulate various biological and natural phenomena.
This repository contains implementations of Conway's Game of Life in multiple programming languages. Each implementation offers different features and user interfaces.
| Implementaion | Description |
|---|---|
