# Conway's Game Of Life
### Because of course we need another implementation
I've been told you're not a real programmer unless you've written a Conway Game
of Life program. So I figured I'd better get it out of the way sooner or
later, and so here we are.
Written in C because Python would probably have been too easy. Was considering
doing it in C++ so I could take advantage of classes.
Currently it uses the 2 array algorithm, copying to a temporary array to process
and then copying back after.
Going to try and figure out how to do the "modify in-place" algorithm instead.
Still unclear how you can modify it in-place without destroying information
you need whenprocessing cells further along... have to give it a good think.
I mean, I assume there's a way to do it because this programming website set
it as a challenge.
