I'm trying to understand the NLUKY rules... I think I've almost got it, but one thing is throwing me off: if Conway's Game of Life is NLUKY 0,3,3,2,3, how does a cell's state get back to 0 from 1? Rule 3 means that when a cell "dies" it gets set to 2, but if N = 0 then it looks like Rule 5 will never kick in and the cell will be stuck at 2 permanently.
I'm guessing this is a bug in the specification of Rule #3 (newC should be 0 if the cell "dies" and N = 0), but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding something.
