protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

  gameOfLifeView.setProportion(20);

  • Proportion: The value which the view will use to calculate the cell size and the number of columns and rows the game will have.
  • Colors: Dead and alive cells can have any given color.
