# Contributed by AMK
#
# An empty board will be displayed, and the following commands are available:
#  E : Erase the board
#  R : Fill the board randomly
#  S : Step for a single generation
#  C : Update continuously until a key is struck
#  Q : Quit
#  Cursor keys :  Move the cursor around the board
#  Space or Enter : Toggle the contents of the cursor's position
#
# TODO :
#   Support the mouse
#   Use colour if available
#   Make board updates faster
