I was following a course to review my Java skills and I implemented a version of Mathematician John Conway's Game Of Life using Java Swing.

• Spacebar

  • Holding the Spacebar down runs the entire game of life through successive generations
  • Tapping the Spacebar steps through one generation only

• Enter

  • Tapping the Enter key randomizes the grid and adds more live cells on the grid, which are the green cells

• Backspace

  • Deletes the entire current grid to restart the game or to generate different playthroughs

• Left Mouse Button

  • Adds/removes an individual live cell on the grid somewhere
