Preface:
--Conway's Game of Life is one of the most popular cellular automata ever produced. The rules are simple, yet interesting behavior can be noticed in the population.
--A two dimensional grid that contains cells that are either dead or alive. If a cell is alive, it will die if it has less than 2 neighbors surrounding it(isolation), or it could die if there are more than 3 neighbors around it(over-population). If a cell is dead, it can become alive if it has exactly 3 neighbors.
Instructions:
--The graph on the right indicates how many cells are currently living. The X-axis indicates 'generation_number', and the Y-axis represents 'number_cells_living * 150'
--Clicking on the cells will kill or revive them depending on its current state
--Random: Reinitializes the population
--Pause: Pauses the applet, but you can still click on the cells while it is paused
--Clear: Kills all of the cells. Use this in combination with 'Pause' and you can initialize the population
--Speed: Click the '-' to go slower and '+' to go faster
Additional Information:
--This is just a simple Conway's Game of Life applet with a graph that indicates how many cells are currently living. E-mail me at acampbel@cs.ucf.edu if you have any questions
