## Game of Life

An interactive version of the [Game of Life], invented by [John Horton Conway].

It runs a simulation in a background thread while allowing interaction with a `Canvas` that displays an infinite grid with zooming, panning, and drawing support.

The __[`main`]__ file contains the relevant code of the example.
