🧠 Conway's Game of Life Rules

The Game of Life follows four simple rules:

1. Birth: A dead cell with exactly 3 live neighbors becomes alive
2. Survival: A live cell with 2 or 3 live neighbors stays alive
3. Underpopulation: A live cell with fewer than 2 neighbors dies
4. Overpopulation: A live cell with more than 3 neighbors dies

These simple rules create complex, emergent behaviors and patterns!
