Beginner Coding Dojo - Conway's Game of Life - Part 2
This is the continuation of our last beginner coding dojo, where we implemented the cell class for the game of life. We would love to invite you, even if you haven’t participated in the last coding dojo, to join us.
The Challenge
We are going to implement Conway’s Game of Life. We will continue at the point where we have left of. We implemented the cell class and will continue with the main part of the game of life.
Don’t worry if you missed something, we created a checkpoint repo so everyone starts at the same point.
We will also provide another test suite, specifically for the game implementation.
We are going to use java for this particular coding dojo.

How do you get to be a great musician? It helps to know the theory, and to understand the mechanics of your instrument. It helps to have talent. But ultimately, greatness comes from practicing; applying the theory over and over again, using feedback to get better every time.
