The world of Game of Life is played on a never-ending board of boxes. Each box is home to a little creature, which can be either alive or dead. Each creature might have 8 next-door neighbors. The Game of Life takes place over steps in time.

At each step, these things can happen to the creature:

1. Being Alone: a creature does not have neighbors, or has one neighbor, and dies.

2. Being Happy: a creature has two or three neighbors, and keeps living.

3. Being Crowded: a creature has more than three neighbors, and dies.

4. Making a Home: if a box does not have a creature in it, and that box has three neighbor-creatures, then a new creature is born in that box.
