PICO-8 Game of Life
Conway's Game of Life (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life).
A group of friends and I decided to implement Game of Life in a variety of programming languages to mark John Conway's passing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Horton_Conway).
This implementation is using the PICO-8 because I'd always wanted to check it out. Source code is provided for this version and a version that just uses PICO-8 text.
It's not optimised and it doesn't wrap around, but it works and looks pretty. When cells switch from "alive" to "dead" they fade out, so it's not just a black and white implementation.
