It is a zero-player game: you define an initial state and then watch it evolve according to a fixed set of rules — no further input required. Despite its simple rules, it produces surprisingly complex, lifelike patterns.</p> <p>In this post we implement Game of Life in Go from scratch, step by step. By the end you will have a working terminal simulation that renders a <strong>Glider</strong> and a <strong>Lightweight Spaceship (LWSS)</strong> in real time.</p>
