I'm having alot of trouble with my Life Generation Program (same
type of thing as Conway's Rules of life), I can't seem to calculate
the alive neighbouring cells properly.

its probably useless me posting a message with every little detail,
so for anyone who's interested I have uploaded the program to the
files section.

It is due in very soon and have been stuck on this problem for quite
some time, anyone with experience in java or this type of program is
welcome to respond.
