Game of life help

[kyle_charest]

i have this assignment due monday, and i dont have any clue where to go next. im sure most of you are aware of the game of life. anyways i need to build it in C++ instead of the usual java. i am trying to make it with the multidimensional arrays, and i am getting lost. i am not sure where to ut teh rules, and i have given up on the randomization part of it. If you could give me any help or tips that would be great. either post or email it to me charesty@norwich.edu thanks--
