I'm working on modeling John Conway's Game of Life for presentation at a conference coming up, and I have the program in a place that should be 95% complete, however, nothing is responding to user input. It almost seems like my action listener and mouse listener aren't being implemented correctly, but I'm not sure where. The program is almost entirely complete; there are a few portions that are still empty, but it will still compile and create my JFrame properly.
