The Game Of Life was created in 1970 by mathematician John Conway. It consists of a two dimensional orthogonal grid of cells, each of which being alive or dead. Cells evolve at each turn following simple rules:

• A live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies
• A live cell with more than three live neighbours dies
• A dead cell with three live neighbours becomes alive

Highlights:

• Library of 800+ common patterns, which can be expanded
• Customisable rules, for exploring beyond the classic Conway's rules
• Open and save files as RLE (run length encoded)
• Highly customisable interface
• Pattern viewer
• Live drawing and simple drag&drop from the library
