Conway's Game of Life

The Game of Life is a cellular automaton developed by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.

The reason it is called a game is because people who play the game can set it up in different ways to make it do different things. Sometimes people play the game by changing the way the imaginary robot is set up at the start to watch what happens. The Game of Life is a 1 player game, because it changes without anybody playing after the starting position is determined. A different type of game lets two players set up imaginary robots to see which one is better.
