Screensaver Conways game of life [v1.0.1]

[hechelion]

A little program that I wrote as an exercise but by adding an automatic reset it seemed to me that it became a good screensaver for the CX16

There is not much to say, if you know the Conways game of life.
Cells that live or die depending on basic rules and that can form more/less complex patterns.

I'm still kind of in awe at the speed difference. 10 fold would not have surprised me.
Yours is at least 100 times faster than my BASIC version.

Your version is also more complete, it allows you to do things like change the size of the simulation, etc.

thanks for your suggestion, the new version v1.0.1 restarts automatically if the number of live cells remains constant for 10 cycles.
