Description

Nascom Life is an implementation of Conway's Game of Life for the Nascom 1 computer. The player draws patterns on the screen and can see them evolve in accordance to the rules of the Game of Life:

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.
