The game of life was invented by john conway, who is currently a professor of mathematics at princeton. it’s not a game in the traditional sense, but rather a grid of cells that changes over time according to a few simple rules.

at a given point in time, each cell in the grid is either "alive" (represented by a value of 1) or "dead" (represented by a value of 0). the neighbors of a cell are the cells that immediately surround it in the grid.

over time, the grid is repeatedly updated according to the following five rules:

all cells on the outer boundary of the grid remain fixed at 0.

an inner cell that has fewer than 2 alive neighbors dies (because of loneliness).

an inner cell that has more than 3 alive neighbors dies (because of overcrowding).

an inner cell that is dead and has exactly 3 alive neighbors comes to life.

all other cells maintain their state.

Now you’re on your own. include a short summary of this section with plots in your lab report. write a matlab script file to do steps (a) through (d) below. include a listing of the script file with your report. 1 the soundsc(xx,fs) function requires two arguments: the first one (xx) contains the vector of data to be played, the second argument (fs) is the sampling rate for playing the samples. in addition, soundsc(xx,fs) does automatic scaling and then calls sound(xx,fs) to actually play the signal. mcclellan, schafer, and yoder, dsp first, 2e, isbn 0-13-065562-7. prentice hall, upper saddle river, nj 07458. c 2015 pearson education, inc. 4 mcclellan, schafer and yoder, signal processing first. prentice hall, upper saddle river, new jersey, 2003. c 2003 prentice hall. (a) generate a time vector (tt) to cover a range of t that will exhibit approximately two cycles of the 4000 hz sinusoids defined in the next part, part (b). use a definition for tt similar to part 2.2(d). if we use t to denote the period of the sinusoids, define the starting time of the vector tt to be equal to t , and the ending time as ct . then the two cycles will include t d 0. finally, make sure that you have at least 25 samples per period of the sinusoidal wave. in other words, when you use the colon operator to define the time vector, make the increment small enough to generate 25 samples per period. (b) generate two 4000 hz sinusoids with arbitrary amplitude and time-shift. x1.t / d a1 cos.2
