Description (Game published on 2007-08-05)
Rules:
1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by loneliness.
2. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
3. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives, unchanged, to the next generation.
4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours comes to life.
The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. It is the best-known example of a cellular automaton.

- I don't know why but seems that it lags more when you move the mouse on the stage.

- I know it lags and it's too slow. I've read something about a faster algorithm(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashlife) but I didn't understand how it works.
The algorithm that I used is explained here (http://www.secoh.ru/msx/life-algorithm.html) . Mine is little different because I didn't use the second array.
