'''Conway's game of life''' (CGL) deals with a cellular automaton game called ''Life'', which was meant to simulate the ecology of one-celled creatures. It was invented by [[John Conway]] in 1970. <ref>[http://www.math.com/students/wonders/life/life.html Wonders of Math]</ref>

CGL is a simple game whereby random squares on a grid are filled. These are deemed to be "alive". Under a set rule based on the number of filled adjacent cells a [[Cell (mathematics)|cell]] either continues to live, dies, or is born.
