All tests run clean and tests(processGrid.test.ts) show it successfully processes 3x3or 4x4.

3x3
// input:
// 0 1 0
// 1 1 1
// 0 0 0

// output:
// 1 1 1
// 1 1 1
// 0 1 0

4x4
// input:
// 0 1 0 0
// 1 0 1 1
// 0 0 0 1
// 1 1 0 1

// output:
// 0 1 1 0
// 0 1 1 1
// 1 0 0 1
// 0 0 1 0

Still needs a way to randomize an initial state and also calculating out of bounds dead cell recreation, but the app should take in an input grid and result in a successful alive snapshot of the cells.

Sample output based on a grid size of 5 with gridGenerator(): ()

Index.ts:

import { gridGenerator } from './gridGenerator';
import { processGrid } from './processGrid';
import { Cell } from './Cell';

const awesomeThingsHappen = (grid: Array<Cell>, n: number): void => {
  const gr2 = processGrid(grid, n);
  console.log(gr2);
  setTimeout(() => {
    awesomeThingsHappen(gr2, n);
  }, 10000);
};

const [gr, n] = gridGenerator(5); // gridGenerator assigns a cell as being alive if the sum of x and y cooridnates equals an even number and dead if they sum upto an odd number
console.log('Initial grid: ', gr);
awesomeThingsHappen(gr, n);

Output:
