The Game of Life Revisited – An Assembly Version

The Game of Life, printed in SYNC 1:2 (pp. 28-30), was written in Basic. This Basic program may be replaced with an assembly subroutine which displays each succeeding generation within a fraction of the time needed by the Basic program. Each generation is constructed and then displayed by using another assembly subroutine for creating a display file based on “A Display File in Machine Code” by Dr. I. S. Logan in the same issue (pp. 13-15).
