I. About Life
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Game of Life was invented by John Conway.
The game is played on a field of cells, each of which
has eight neighbors (adjacent cells).
A cell is either occupied (by an organism) or not.
The rules for deriving a generation from the previous
one are these:

Death
If an occupied cell has 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 occupied
neighbors, the organism dies (0, 1 neighbors: of
loneliness; 4 thru 8: of overcrowding).  

Survival
If an occupied cell has two or three neighbors, the
organism survives to the next generation.  

Birth
If an unoccupied cell has three occupied neighbors,
it becomes occupied.
