Life is a mathematical game that simulates a colony of single celled animals. You, the user of the Life simulator, input the initial location, in the two dimensional world, of the single celled animals. You then can advance time to see the fate of the colony.
The game Life was invented in 1970 by the Cambridge University mathematician John Conway.
