## Description

Bits of Life is an full-featured interactive implementation of British mathematician John Conway's cellular automaton "Game of Life". It is intended to be an entertaining learning tool, maybe piquing your interest in the deeper implications of Conway's mathematical simulation!

Features:
- Pause and resume the "evolution" of the cells in the game
- Label and save game states for loading later
- Load pre-defined "special" states which produce notable evolutionary phenomena
- Change the colors of live/dead cells as well as evolution speed
- Edit cells manually (toggling them between alive and dead)
- Take a screenshot of the current state of the game
- Quickly view Wikipedia's page on the Game of Life from within the app, to learn more about cellular automata
