###About This python program is the simulation of popular game 'Game of Life' by 1970 British Mathematician John Conway
The game mimics the chaotic yet patterned growth of a colony of biological organisms
The "game" takes place on a two-dimensional grid consisting of "living" and "dead" cells, and the rules to step from generation to generation are simple:

• Overpopulation: if a living cell is surrounded by more than three living cells, it dies.
• Stasis: if a living cell is surrounded by two or three living cells, it survives.
• Underpopulation: if a living cell is surrounded by fewer than two living cells, it dies.
• Reproduction: if a dead cell is surrounded by exactly three cells, it becomes a live cell.

##Usage To use the program, go to the Game-of-Life directory and in terminal run the game-of-life.py using following command:
python game-of-life.py

##Patterns The program supports popular patterns
To uses them, just change the pattern variable in game-of-life.py file to one of the following patterns:

• random
• glider
• glider_gun
• diehard
• boat
• r_pentomino
• beacon
• acorn
• spaceship
• block_switch_engine
• pulsar
• blinker
• toad

For example, if you want to use glider pattern, change pattern variable from:
pattern = patterns.random
to:
pattern = patterns.glider
