Advent of Code
--- Day 18: Like a GIF For Your Yard ---
After the million lights incident, the fire code has gotten stricter: now, at most ten thousand
lights are allowed. You arrange them in a 100x100 grid.

Never one to let you down, Santa again mails you instructions on the ideal lighting
configuration. With so few lights, he says, you'll have to resort to animation.

Then, animate your grid in steps, where each step decides the next configuration based on the
current one. Each light's next state (either on or off) depends on its current state and the
current states of the eight lights adjacent to it (including diagonals). Lights on the edge of
the grid might have fewer than eight neighbors; the missing ones always count as "off".

The state a light should have next is based on its current state (on or off)
plus the number of neighbors that are on:
• A light which is on stays on when 2 or 3 neighbors are on, and turns off otherwise.
• A light which is off turns on if exactly 3 neighbors are on, and stays off otherwise.

All of the lights update simultaneously; they all consider the same current state before moving
to the next.

You flip the instructions over; Santa goes on to point out that this is all just an
implementation of Conway's Game of Life. At least, it was, until you notice that something's
wrong with the grid of lights you bought: four lights, one in each corner, are stuck on and
can't be turned off. The example above will actually run like this:
