Game of Life

Keyboard Control:
- 'c' = clear all
- 'p' = pause/unpause
- 'a' = run one step (if paused)
- 'r' = create a random board
- 'g' = see four glider guns in action (press 'p' afterwards')

In pause mode, you can change the state of each cell using the mouse. Right mouse button to create a cell, left mouse button to remove a cell. Hold spacebar while clicking or dragging the mouse to add/remove 3x3 instead of one cell.

Every act-cycle represents a time step. In each time step, a living cell dies if it has 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 living neighbour cells. A new cell is created if it has exactly 3 living neighbours. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life

I only updated a typo in the description, there wasn't a real update here...
A new version of this scenario was uploaded on 2019-06-06 20:40:07 UTC Updated to Greenfoot 3.5.4
A new version of this scenario was uploaded on 2019-06-06 21:00:41 UTC Removed the borders. Each edge is connected with the opposite site.
A new version of this scenario was uploaded on 2019-06-06 21:01:53 UTC Added the possibility to click "Act" to see each act cycle separately.
A new version of this scenario was uploaded on 2019-06-06 21:03:46 UTC Fixed a small bug.
A new version of this scenario was uploaded on 2019-06-06 21:20:27 UTC Apparently the Act button doesn't exist even if it should. You can now press "a" to let it act once when it is paused. (Paused with 'p', not the Pause below the scenario!) The scenario now starts in pause state. Press 'p' to start the simulation instead of pressing "Run" below.

I didn't really do anything with default java yet, so I guess everything would be a nightmare for me ^^
