JSLife - A Game of Life Adaptation

Designed by John Conway in 1970, The Game of Life is a game with 3 simple rules:

1. White pixels with < 2 white neighboring pixels turn black.
2. White pixels with > 3 white neighboring pixels turn black.
3. Black pixels with 3 white neighboring pixels turn white.

Though the game is intended to be a zero-player game that is entirely dependent on the intial conditions, you are allowed the option to add or remove pixels by clicking/tapping on the screen as the game is running.

Single Player

You begin with a board of randomly set pixels which you can manipulate and observe the complexities of the simple system.

Player vs COM

Similarly, you begin with a board of randonly set pixels, roughly half for you and half for the computer. Your goal is to have more of your pixels by end of the game by adding and removing pixels from the screen.

The same rules apply with 2 additional rule:

1. A pixel can only spawn if there are fewer enemies nearby than allies.
2. If a live pixel is surrounded by more enemies than allies, it gets converted to an enemy pixel.
