This is a small hacking exercise for fun in Elixir to implement a version of the Game of Life. It's a naive implementation, which uses the BEAMs ability to just run a ton of processes. So each cell of the Game is a process, which holds the state of the cell, that's not efficient and not a best practice to implement the game, but just an implementation to be for fun.

To start your Phoenix server:

• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server or inside IEx with iex -S mix phx.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

Ready to run in production? Please check our deployment guides.
