Model: Cell {x, y, alive} View: CellView {model: Cell} Collection: Cells

---

CellView renders a div CellView listens to Cell.change to change b.g. color

On app init:

1. Create cells 50x50
2. Create CellView for each cell
3. Add cells to Collection
4. Iterate over collection to compute alive/dead.
   • 2-step "prepare" -> "change"
   • two methods:
     • compute next-state:
       • set next_turn_alive should be alive or not
     • make transition
       • do the actual bg-color/state cleanup/etc
   • pass over them twiec: first compute next state, second call make transition
   • should event change:alive
