Glider Gun Unisex T-shirt

Conway's Game of Life is a "cellular automaton" devised by mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. Simply put: squares on a grid are filled in either randomly or in a pattern, and these 'cells' are then subject to the following rules:

• A live cell with fewer than two live neighbours 'dies', as if by underpopulation.
• A live cell with two or three live neighbours survives to the next generation.
• A live cell with more than three live neighbours 'dies', as if by overpopulation.
• A dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.

As these rules are applied again and again, the pattern evolves, creating patterns sometimes very ordered, or self-destructive, or endlessly repeating. American mathematician and hacker Bill Gosper created the Glider Gun shown on this t-shirt: an oscillating pattern which endlessly creates 'gliders', tiny repeating patters which crawl across the screen.
