Description of Conway's Game of Life

The Game of Life is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.
Touch the screen to bring cells to life and observe how they participate in the game of Life.
You can also randomly fill the canvas with cells and see how the story pans out.
You can also change the rules of the game and see how life reacts.
From this v1.2 onwards, the source is available as a repository on GitHub, so that anyone who is interested can view and modify the code to create an even better performing and prettier looking game. The link to the aforementioned repository is https://github.com/nighthawkOne/ConwaysGameOfLife
Changes in v1.15
- Fixed bug in touch gestures arising from differences in the way different screens report size of touched area.
Changes in v1.1
- Added tips dialog for an easy introduction to using the app.
- Added new settings activity using swiped tabs and fragments.
- New settings such as 'anti-alias'.
- Fixed bug in random fill.
- Settings changes are persistent between sessions, with an option to revert to default settings.
- Better swiping with two different types of swipe trails, settable in settings menu.

    I wish I could zoom in an hour. It would allow for easier shape building.

    I wish I could zoom easier to paint specific shapes easier and I found a glitch if you change the rule to S. 8. And B. 3,4,5, 8 random total extinction some times occurs and it looks like its for no reason.

    I can't place dots where I want them. Frequentlyy the game places the dots slightly off from where I click and with no undo or erase option, I can't create glider guns or any other cool designs.

    Does not all for any permissions. Though it'll help if the game allows to construct gliders or trains by filling specific pixels

    Great to see this famous cellular automaton crafted into an easy-to-use and aesthetic app. The extra 'settings' are a treat. Am also glad to see no 'permissions' are required. Great work!
