    screen_caption: "Conway's Game of Life  [pattern {pat}]  ({paused})"
    # '{pat}' will be the pattern id (if any pattern is selected)
    # '{paused}' will be either 'paused' or 'running'
    # Make sure that screen_caption has '{pat}' and '{paused}' within

    # initial random grid ('g' keyboard)
    gen_min_pct_living_cells: 5  # percentage
    gen_max_pct_living_cells: 20  # percentage
    # Both values must be between [0,100] and max must be greater than min

    # RULES   (you may change them if you want to carry out experiments)
    # Any dead cell with exactly <3> living neighbours becomes a living cell
    reproduction: 3
    # Any living cell with less than <2> living neighbours dies
    underpopulation: 2
    # Any living cell with more than <3> living neighbours dies
    overpopulation: 3
    # Next Generation: Any living cell with more than 'underpopulation' and
    # less than 'overpopulation' neighbors lives on to the next generation

    # Control the simulation speed
    sleep: 0.15  # seconds to wait between iterations (grid updates)
