Ignore ghenry, he is all wet on this one. Life is a program in which a grid's cells change state dependent on the states of the adjacent cells, usually the grid and the states of the cells are represented visually. Supposedly you are nearing programming nirvana when you can set up a starting position and predict the sequencing of its visual representation while putting 12 cells into a pixel. I am not sure. I am not sure if you are to do this before or after you brand animal icons on your forearms with the D/C output of a computer power supply.

Be well,
