## Description

A simple Conway's Game of Life [0] exercises intended to introduce myself to Rust WebAssembly. The simulation space is **toroidal** and implements a basic memoization strategy.

The excersice and initial project's setting was inspired by [1-3].

## Regarding Panic and file size

Setting "panic=abort" [4] does not remplace "process:abort" [5]. In consecuence, a panic that aborts still calls some functions (e.g., panic_fmt, set_hook) [6,7]; then, it will put code bload on the wasm.
