John Conway's Game of Life in Python Solo Project

A repo showcasing the Game of Life with dynamic simulations and interactive patterns

Things learned:

• Sharpened Python and graph visualization skills
• Optimizing my queries with ChatGPT to help me navigate matplotlib documents
• Copying lists deeply is KEY in this project, t'was my biggest rock in the way by far

Overall, a productive project which allowed for better understanding of Python and matplotlib.
