lives on to the next generation.
3. Any live cell with more than three live
neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.

10. Rules of Test Driven Development
1. You are not allowed to write any production
code unless it is to make a failing unit test
pass.
2. You are not allowed to write any more of a
unit test than is sufficient to fail; and
compilation failures are failures.

production code than is sufficient to pass the
one failing unit test.
