Reflection

My journey with Conway's Game of Life began in childhood when I saw it at a science museum. I was captivated by the animations, even if I didn't fully grasp the concept at the time. Over the years, my appreciation for the game's underlying beauty and complexity has deepened.

My first implementation was a simple text-based version with a fixed-size board. Initially the algorithm governing the cellular automata was very basic, naive, and slow. Through several iterations I gained valuable insight into optimization techniques and explored various approaches: different ways to solve the same problem.
