This is a version of the well-known cellular automaton simulation called the Game of Life, created by John Conway. The rules are simple: 1. All cells are either dead (black) or alive (white). 2. If a dead cell has exactly 3 living neighbors (counting diagonals), then it comes to life. (As if by reproduction) 3. If a living cell has more than 3 neighbors, it dies. (As if by overpopulation) 4. If a living cell has fewer than 2 neighbors, it dies. (As if by underpopulation) 5. If a living cell has 2 neighbors, it lives. Unfortunately, my version is fundamentally incomplete, because the real Game of Life is played on an infinite (or at least arbitrarily large) board, and I am not skilled enough in Scratch programming to implement that. In my variation, all cells outside the screen are considered dead and impossible to revive. That being said, I hope you enjoy!
This game is fully based off of the Game of Life by John Conway. Use "C" to open the controls menu, which shows you how to operate the game
