🧠How to Play Conway’s Game of Life
The Game of Life is a zero-player game — it evolves automatically based on simple rules.
Rules
- Each cell is either alive or dead.
- A live cell with fewer than 2 live neighbors dies (underpopulation).
- A live cell with 2 or 3 live neighbors lives on to the next generation.
- A live cell with more than 3 live neighbors dies (overpopulation).
- A dead cell with exactly 3 live neighbors becomes alive (reproduction).
Controls
- Click on cells to toggle them alive or dead.
- Use the Rows and Columns inputs to choose your grid size.
- Press Resize Grid to apply changes.
- Press Start to begin the simulation.
- Press Pause to stop it temporarily.
- Press Clear to reset the grid.
- Press Randomize to fill the grid with a random pattern.
Watch your creation evolve — it might stabilize, grow endlessly, or collapse into extinction!
