## To Do
- [x] Refactoring code and Optimize logic
- [ ] Add Ncurses
- [x] Create an executable gem
- [ ] Take input from user instead of random cells
- [ ] Add predefined cells like Glider, Gun, Blink, Box
- [ ] Command line arguments
- [ ] Unit tests
- [x] Zero player (random)
- [ ] Multiplayer support(LAN, Internet)
- [ ] Different colors of cells
## Rules
- Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by needs caused by underpopulation.
- Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
- Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives, unchanged, to the next generation.
- Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell.
