Game of Bits

About

Game of Bits is mainly a simulation / game based on John Horton Conway's Game of Life (also known as Conway's Game of Life). There are two basic rules for the bits you place on the board:

1. An empty space becomes a bit when it has exactly three neighbours.
2. A bit with less then two or more than three neighbours gets deleted.

Feel free to experiment and a build a successful bit society :D
