[Coco] Conway's game of life

[Aaron Wolfe]

Thanks, I hadn't found that one but I do remember reading it long long ago.

The "glacially slow" part is why I keep thinking this was a BASIC article..
I remember sitting for hours as the screen updated one painful cell at a
time.  It used a text mode screen and the block graphic characters iirc.

I might have translated something out of a TI or Apple BASIC book and
brought that on myself, at the time assembly language was quite
intimidating, getting rainbow ML listings working usually took a lot of
effort compared to BASIC.
