    1. Open the game from Web site: http://ashipunov.info/shipunov/school/biol_111/game_of_life.htm, switch the sound off, skip the ad (if presented).

    2. Start the game, explore start/stop button, speed and creation menus.

    3. Try all 8 examples from background part. Creation menu will help you to make a Gosper glider gun.

    4. Fill the field with random cells three times, observe the result on different speeds.

    5. Invent two your own creatures of different types (not bigger than \(10\times15\) cells), explore their behavior.
