There are only a few rules: 1.8 + 1.9 + The game is played on a rectangular grid, where each cell is either alive or dead. 1.10 + Each generation is computed from the state of the previous generation, using rules 3 and 4: 1.11 + A live cell with 2 or 3 live neighbors (adjacent cells, including diagonals) lives on.
