How do i get my pieces to move on conways i dont understand

Edit by Kerm: "Conway's Game of Life". Please do not double-post for the nth time!! Use the EDIT button.

Conway's game of like is not so much "moving" the pieces as turning pixels on and off. As far as I remember, cells (pixels) live if they have a certain number of neighbors alive, or die if they have any other numbers of neighbors. Therefore, the most brute-force implementation would Pxl-Test to determine the number of neighbors a cell has, then Pxl-On or Pxl-Off it accordingly. However, for proper functionality you need to calculate all new pixel values from the previous state before substituting any new state values into the old state. Therefore, a matrix or list-based store might be helpful (or repeatedly swapping between two PicN's, but that's uberawkward)

I am not quite sure that I understand the whole concept...

That's fair, here's a good explanation of how it works:

I have already checked that out

Conway's game of life does not work in basic unless you can figure some revolutionary way to store the data in a manner than can be easily extracted and calculated. Learn ASM if you really want to make it.
