 * Each cell on the game board is represented by

 * is determinded by a boolean value. For the purposes
 * of applying the game's rules without affecting the
 * current board, each cell has an 'active' and 'standby'
 * status. After the rules are applied to each cell on the
 * board, the 'standby' becomes active and the game continues.
