Game of Life..need some assistance...
hello guys. i am trying to create Conway's game of life in C# (the whole generation of life 'game' from the 70's) i have created my window and gotten everything set up, i have a class structure but i need a little help. the program goes like this: if you left click the mouse you create a 'cell' and everytime you right click it is moves on one generation for every click. here are the rules :
1. If a cell has less than 2 living neighbors it is lonely and dies in the next generation.
2. If a cell has exactly 2 living neighbors it is happy and continues life in the next generation.
3. If a cell has exactly 3 living neighbors a new cell is born in that cell or continues to exist if it is already alive.
4. If a cell has 4 or more neighbors it is overcrowded and dies in the next generation
