User Summary
Following Conway's Game of Life.
Draw patterns to evolve the cells based on a few simple 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.
The game was written by William Englander for the Altair 8800 clone IMSAI 8080 using BASIC E.
Unlike the earlier official Altair versions, it's designed to load/play on a teletype, which added the feature that you fill in the paper size at the start of the game.
The game is found in BYTE Magazine Vol 3 No 12
