The rules — that's the whole game
Every cell looks at its 8 neighbours. All at once:
- Too few — fewer than 2 neighbours → it dies (lonely)
- Too many — more than 3 neighbours → it dies (crowded)
- Just right — 2 or 3 neighbours → it lives on
- Birth — an empty spot with exactly 3 neighbours → a new cell is born
That's it. From those four rules: ships fly, guns fire, patterns pulse forever.
