I'd like to make a suggestion.  What youre going through is what
we all go through learning to program.  First, find something
easier to do.  The rules of Conway's game of life are simple,
but writing the program isn't.  Do some simple things first.

Life is usually done as a challange when you have a good
feel for programming and want to test yourself.  When you've
written that program, and made it fast enough to be any good,
youre a programmer.
