The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway. It is a zero-player game that simulates the evolution of a grid of cells based on a set of rules.
Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbors dies, as if by underpopulation. Any live cell with two or three live neighbors lives on to the next generation. Any live cell with more than three live neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
To run the Game of Life project, follow these steps:
- Ensure that Python 3 is installed on your machine.
- Clone the project repository from GitHub: [link to the repository]
- Open a terminal or command prompt.
- Navigate to the project directory.
- Run the following command to start the game: python game_of_life.py
The game will start running in the terminal, displaying the grid and the generations.
