My Conway's Game of Life project
Not optimized yet
This is just a little side project to work on my optimization skills and mess around with different patterns in Conway's Game of Life.
A little bit about the game
If you have never heard of the "Game of Life", developed by John Conway in the early 70's I suggest that you check out the wikepedia page listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life. It is a fun little game that replicates cell automation. Below I will list some fun patterns to get you started.
Patterns
Still Patterns
Oscillating Patterns
Spaceship Patterns (AKA - Patterns that move on their own)
These are not all the possible patterns but a few ones that are used alot
