Problem 1976. Kaggle: Reverse Game of Life - Create Isle prior State

Kaggle's Conway's Reverse Game of Life contest inspires this Isle Single Evolution step in Life challenge. The kaggle contest runs from Oct-14-2013 thru Mar-02-2014. References: Game of Life at Wolfram. Wiki Life.


Create an Isle that will evolve in one step to the given Isle state. An Isle is a morphing matrix that may contain non-periodic and interacting animals. The Isle is pre-evolved and will have >10 live cells. Multiple solutions are possible. Imperfect solutions are allowed. This is a Performance Challenge.

Input: Isle, 10x10 binary, 100 Isles

Output: Isle_Predict, a matrix that will evolve to Isle

Scoring: 1000 * ( Errors / Total_points )

Example: (Errors=0 and 100 Total Points)
