    JavaScript Functions

    In this lab you will build a simple two dimensional simulation of living cells, known as Conway’s Game of Life. In the process you will learn all about JavaScript functions, including what you can do with them and their many features.

Each new function will demonstrate an aspect of JavaScript functions. ### Solution The solution can be found in the solution directory.
