Let's assume that the bits in the Moore neighborhood are numbere as follows:
a4a5a6
a3a0a7
a2a1a8
and let t, which belongs to the set of positive integers, denote time. For Conway’s Game of Life, how to draw a circuit that calculates а0(t+1) in terms of а0(t),…,а8(t).
Thanks much in advance!!!!

Re: circuit in Conway’s Game of Life
The first step, obviously, would be to sum signals a1 thru a8 into a signal denoting the number of neighbors. (Three bits will work: 8 = 1000 neighbors can wrap over to 0 = 000, since neither is a survival/birth condition.)
Hope this helps with your homework.
