its_aliFe: nuclear option (plus some on new focus)

Updated the Conway's Game of Life game to let you nuke all the current cells and start over. This was requested by my kids shortly after they started playing with it.

For the forseeable future (1.5 weeks is usually about how long that lasts for me), I'm going to work exclusively on things my kids are interested in. That means I'm only going to be adding features they request or that their usage shows a strong need for. This "nuke button" is an example.

The funny thing about the nuke button is that when my wife saw it, she said "you should have some kind of explosion show on the screen". I said something like "maybe if the kids ask for it". My new focus was already saving me work!

But it was practically the first thing Jacob said when he saw the button. So it looks like I can't win.
