Conway's Game of Life for DOS is a simulation based on mathematician John Conway’s cellular automaton concept. It features a grid where users set initial patterns of "live" cells, which then evolve over time based on simple rules: birth, survival, and death. No user interaction is needed after setup—patterns grow, stabilize, or disappear on their own. Popular among programmers and hobbyists, the DOS version visualizes complex, emergent behavior from simple rules, offering both educational value and endless fascination for logic and math enthusiasts.
