# Conway's Game of Life (C - SDL2)

Conway's Game of Life is a classic cellular automaton devised by British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. It's a zero-player game, meaning its evolution is determined by its initial state, with no further input from humans. Despite its simplicity, the Game of Life exhibits complex and fascinating patterns.

* If a dead cell has exactly three live neighbors, it becomes alive in the next generation.

* If a live cell has two or three live neighbors, it remains alive in the next generation.

* In all other cases, a cell dies or remains dead.
