Question

5. A mathematician called John Horton Conway devised a "zero-player game" called The Game of Life in 1970. The universe of the game consists of a 2D grid of cells. Each cell consists of one of two states: Alive, Dead. Rules as follows are used to determine which cells live and which cells die on a generation by generation basis. Let's determine the fate of one cell using the following algorithm. Write the code that performs it.

INPUT

---------

i) Ask the user for the alive/dead status of one of its neighbors

ii) Repeat the above step 8 times to get all neighbor information

Keep track of how many of the neighbors are alive

CALCULATIONS

-----------------------

iii) If 0 or 1 neighbors are living, the cell is Dead in the next generation

     If 2 or 3 neighbors are living, the cell is Living in the next generation

     If 4 or more neighbors are living, the cell is Dead in the next generation

OUTPUT

------------

iv) Display if the cell is Alive or Dead

Explanation / Answer

import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;

public class Game() {

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception() {

String user; int i; String status;

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

System.out.println(“Enter User:”);

user = br.readLine();

System.out.println(“Enter status: Alive/Dead”);

status = br.readLine();

for(i: 0 t0 8) {

int[] a,d,count=0,count1=0;

if(status = = “Alive”)

a[i] = status;

count = count+1;

else

d[i]=status;

count1=count1+1;

}

system.out.println(“No.of neighbors alive:” + count);

System.out.println(“No.of neighbors Dead :” + count1);

public void Cell(int count) {

String sin;

for(i: 0 t0 8) {

if(count == 0 || count == 1)

sin = “DEAD”;

else if(count ==2 || count == 3)

sin=”ALIVE”;

else if(count >=4)

sin = “DEAD”;

}

System.out.println(“Cell Status :” + sin);

}

}

}
