Conway's Game of Life as a Service

A small client-server app in Clojure & ClojureScript that runs

conway's game of life simulation.

The server exposes a single API endpoint, `/evolve`, that accepts POST

requests that takes an

[EDN-formatted](https://github.com/edn-format/edn) world

representation like:

    {:width  3

     :height 3

     :age    0

     :board [[true  false false]

             [false true  false]

             [false false true]]}

And responds with an evolved board state:

    {:width  3

     :height 3

     :age    1

     :board [[false false false]

             [false true  false]

             [false false false]]}

The server parallelizes processing of this value, so it should provide

an advantage over client-side processing for large datasets. The

server performs some sanity-checking of the posted data and will

return a 400 if it cannot be validated. If data is posted

without a `:board`, however, a randomized board state will be

generated.

## Prerequisites

You will need [Leiningen][1] 1.7.0 or above installed.
