Any [cellular automaton] with rules [similar to][life-like] [Conway's Game of Life] can be modeled using a data structure similar to the following:

```js

let world = {

  time: 0

  rule: { birth: [ 3 ], survival: [ 2, 3 ] }

  size: [ 256, 256 ]

  data: new Uint8ClampedArray(256 * 256)

    .fill()

    .map(_ => Math.random() < 0.25)

}

```

The update function found in `lib/update.js` efficiently advances the given `world` by a single unit of time. Altering the rule, size, and seed of the above structure would enable you to simulate any cellular automaton with Life-like mechanics.
