Scott:
Not sure I agree with your comment about composite, but the others
seem correct.

> Strategy (to allow you to vary the birth/death rules flexibly)
Yep.

> Composite (Perhaps - one way to deal with the cell/neighbor
relationship)
Composites are when you have collections and individual things and
you want to treat them the same. Not sure I see that here.

> Iterator Pattern (to isolate the way the cells are stored from the
way they are processed)
Yep.

> Flyweight (the cells themselves are all basically the same, aside
from locational state)
Yep.
