// * A short program for alife experiments. Click in the window to restart.
// * Each cell is represented by a pixel on the display as well as an entry in
// * the array 'cells'. Each cell has a run() method, which performs actions
// * based on the cell's surroundings.  Cells run one at a time (to avoid conflicts
// * like wanting to move to the same space) and in random order.
