To Do

• [x] Refactoring code and Optimize logic
• [ ] Add Ncurses
• [x] Create an executable gem
• [ ] Take input from user instead of random cells
• [ ] Add predefined cells like Glider, Gun, Blink, Box
• [ ] Command line arguments
• [ ] Unit tests
• [x] Zero player (random)
• [ ] Multiplayer support(LAN, Internet)
• [ ] Different colors of cells

Rules

• Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by needs caused by underpopulation.
• Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
• Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives, unchanged, to the next generation.
• Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell.
