Description

LIFE on VIP is an implementation of Conway's game of Life for the COSMAC VIP. In the game the player can draw patterns which evolve using the following rules:

  • Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population.
  • Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
  • Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
  • Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
