-gol - Conway's Game Of Life
+# gol - conway's game of life
 
-Version: 0.2.2
+version: 0.2.2
 
-gol is an implementation of Conway's Game of life that runs in a terminal emulator.
-There are two states: alive and dead, and each generation uses the number of neighbors
-to determine the state of each cell. A dead cell surrounded by exactly 3 live cells will
-spawn. A live cell will stay alive if it is surrounded by 2 or 3 other cells, otherwise it
-dies. Each generation uses the last generations map to create the next map.
