Question

The input will be number of initial cells(X) and the number of generations(N).
The output should be the number of living cells and the number of dead cells, and a plot of cells after N generations with * represent a living cell, and a blank space represents a dead cell.

The universe of the Game of Life is an infinite two-dimensional orthogonal grid of square cells, each of which is in one of two possible states, alive or dead. Every cell interacts with its eight neighbours, which are the cells that are horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent. At each step in time, the following transitions occur:

1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population.
2. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
3. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

The initial pattern constitutes the seed of the system. The first generation is created by applying the above rules simultaneously to every cell in the seed

Explanation / Answer

#include #include #define H 30 //Define height #define W 30 //Define width using namespace std; void clear(bool mat[][W]) //Sets matrix to all dead { for (int m = 0; m
