• What is the game of life

The Game of Life is a cellular automaton invented in 1970 by the British mathematician John Horton Conway. It includes a two-dimensional rectangular world, in which each square inhabits a living or dead cell. The life or death of a cell at the next moment depends on the number of cells alive or dead in the eight adjacent squares. If there are too many living cells in the adjacent square, this cell will die at the next moment due to lack of resources; on the contrary, if there are too few living cells around, this cell will die because of being too lonely.

The rules seem simple, but they can deduce endless content.

Glider: "It" will go one square to the lower right corner every 4 rounds. Although the cell has long been a different cell, it can maintain its original form.

Lightweight spaceship: Its period is 4, and it will go one square to the right every 2 rounds.

Pulsar: It has a period of 3 and looks like a star bursting out periodically.

More complicated patterns.
