Cellular Automaton (2D, Flat)

This is a flat 2D representation of Conway's Game of Life, which is a type of cellular automaton (CA). When all the cells turn red, touch the CA and it will start with a random spatial distribution of cells for Generation 0 and then continue to create new generations. The CA will timeout after a certain period of time.

Conways' Game of life evaluations each grid point, using a Moore neighborhood (8 grid points around any given grid point):

• a new cell is born on a grid point if there are exactly 3 neighboring cells
• a cell survives if there are 2 or 3 neighboring cells
• a cell dies otherwise (0,1,4,5,6,7, or 8 neighboring cells)
