Tab of Life Game

Tab of Life is a game where you can watch a number of images rotate and flip to life and pass on their properties. John Conway’s famous cellular automata game has been brought to your new tabs. 

The rules are simple:

Each cell has two neighbors. If one neighbor is alive, the cell will be alive.

Life has an initial value (usually 0). The first generation of live cells will have an initial value of 1.

After one generation, each cell’s value is passed to the neighbors, then to the neighbors’ neighbors.

Each cell is either alive or dead. If it is alive, it may pass on life to a neighbor.

If the number of live neighbors decreases by one or more, the cell dies.
