This is John Conway's classic cellular automaton, a 2d gridworld that follows three basic rules:
1)Any empty cell that is touching exactly three occupied cells will become occupied in the next iteration
2)Any occupied cell touching less than 2 occupied cells will become emptied in the next iteration
3)Any occupied cell touching more than 3 occupied cells will be emptied in the next iteration

This allows for countless patterns and endless fun! Create gliders, guns, and more!

Controls:
Left click: occupy a cell
Right click: empty a cell
Space: Run
Shift: Pause
Up Arrow: Step
Escape: Clear

Please Fix up the screenshots and we'll get this up!

Why doesn't it allow the user to place new cells when the simulation is running? That would be a nice feature.

Thanks for the idea. Now can also pause by pressing shift, and go step-by-step by pressing the up arrow.
