     1.4 +GtkLife is a fast, featureful, open-source Conway's Life program.
     1.5 +
     1.6 +Conway's Life is a form of artificial life (specifically, a cellular automaton)-
     1.7 +one of the simplest there is. 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. Otherwise it dies.
    1.12 +    A dead cell with exactly 3 live neighbors comes to life. 
    1.13 +                
    1.14 +That's all there is to it. Yet fascinating behavior arises from these simple 
    1.15 +rules.
