Just heard that John Conway died of COVID-19. His "Game of Life" means a lot to me. I played this so intensely for a long time that it feels like it's woven into the fabric of my brain. I'm a GoL junkie. It's very likely that I'd never started programming without GoL, i.e. without John Conway.
I'm deeply grateful to this man,

Sad to hear this!
I remember Game of Life very well - and used a lot of CPU power for this.
At a time where CPU power was not really cheap!

For the GoL-Fans, here's some food for thought - a nice & challenging implementation

Ah! John Conway, and number theory. That brings back memories of happy days at University. I loved pure mathematics, and still do. There is something fascinating about numbers, particularly prime numbers.
