The Game of Life, also known simply as Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970

Wikipedia

Basically it runs on just two rules :-

Cell with less than two or more than three neighbours dies
Cell with two or three neighbours survives to next generation

Here's a neat working Life

! Made this just for small screens.

I'm sorry to hear that, will be fixing the issues.
I made this for mobile phones not desktop users. Have you tried cloning the repository and running it locally.

That should be almost the same. A quick look into the debugger shows that you create an array with a decimal value rows:

let create2DArray = (rows,cols) =>{
        let ret = []
        for(let i=0;i<cols;i++){
          for(let j=0;j<rows;j++){
            ret[i] = new Array(rows).fill(0)
          }
        }
        return ret
      }
