So, apparently this has been done a few times, but here’s my simulator for Conway’s Game of Life! > **[Conway's Game Of Life](https://arcade.makecode.com/S70906-18358-43037-24996)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. If you don’t know what Conway’s Game of Life, then here are the rules: - If a living cell has less than two or more than 3 living neighbors, then that cell will die. - If a living cell has 2-3 living neighbors, then the cell will stay alive. - If a dead cell has _exactly_ 3 living neighbors, then that cell will come back to life. If you want more information, here’s a link to a wiki about the “game”: > **[Conway's Game of Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life)** > > The Game of Life, also known as Conway's Game of Life or simply Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. It is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves. It is Turing complete and can simulate a universal constructor or any other Turing machine. > The universe of the Game of... ---

Yo this is actually sick making it mouse compatible is really cool ---

It should also be comparable with hardware. ---

**NEW UPDATE.** I have slightly updated this project and made it so that there are slight improvements to things such as the pause menu and the non-mouse controls for the cursor. Here’s the updated project: > **[Conway's Game Of Life - V2.O](https://arcade.makecode.com/S80226-42709-94336-14310)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.
