"""
A curses-based version of Conway's Game of Life.

An empty board will be displayed, and the following commands are available:
 E : Erase the board
 R : Fill the board randomly
 S : Step for a single generation
 C : Update continuously until a key is struck
 Q : Quit
 Cursor keys :  Move the cursor around the board
 Space or Enter : Toggle the contents of the cursor's position
