Student should be able to utilize "double buffering" to implement the game

Create a few sample cell configurations that users can load and run
Add an option that creates a random cell configuration that users can run
Provide functionality to manually step through the simulation one generation at a time, as opposed to animating automatically
Allow users to change the dimension of the grid being displayed
Grid to display cells.
Cell objects or components that, at a minimum, should have:
Properties current state: (alive, dead), (black, white)
Clickable/Tappable: can be clicked to allow user to setup initial cell configuration should NOT be clickable while simulation is running
Behaviors Toggle state functionality: switch between alive & dead either because user manually toggled cell before starting simulation or simulation is running and rules of life caused cell to change state
An appropriate data structure to hold a grid of cells that is at least 25x25. Go as big as you want. Text to display current generation # being displayed
Utilize a timeout function to build the next generation of cells & update the display at the chosen time interval
Button(s) that start & stop the animation
Button to clear the grid
