    To help with this assignment, and if you unfamiliar with The Game of Life, you may want to play with a simulation. here;s an example: Bill Kendrick's Game of Life Simulation
    Additional Program Requirements:
    Your grid should be of size 25 by 25.  Using #define create constant macros for:
    Alive character: '*'
    Dead character: '.'
    Input file name: "/afs/cats.ucsc.edu/class/cmps012a.w99/hw7/initial"
    After each generation is displayed your program should pause and wait for the user to press return before it prints the next generation. It should also print the generation number at the top of each displayed grid, the initial configuration being generation 0. Your program should go at least as far as generation 50. A border around the grid display is optional. Test your program on the following initial array:
    Generation 0
    .........................
    .........................
    .........................
    .........................
    .........................

    After 24 generations this should appear as:
    Generation 24
