Conway's Game of Life with Custom Rules

This project is an implementation of Conway's Game of Life using Lua and the LÖVE 2D framework. It features customized rules that modify the behavior of the original game, allowing for creative and varied cell interactions.

🧠 Custom Game Rules

The traditional Game of Life rules have been modified as follows:

1. Any live cell with no neighbors dies due to underpopulation.
2. Any live cell with more than 5 neighbors dies due to overpopulation.
3. Any live cell at the border of the grid dies.
4. Any dead cell with more than 3 neighbors becomes alive.
5. All other cells remain in their current state.
