[colorforth] Game of Life

[Bob Shafer <bobsh@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a rudimentary "game of life" going in colorForth. It takes 
somewhat less than two screens, and doesn't yet have a keyboard interface 
(which ought to be straightforward to add). My last bug was due to a 
misunderstanding of /mod; I thought it would return "quotient remainder", 
but it returns "remainder quotient". Took me a while to discover that was 
the issue. :-)

I'm not entirely happy with what I've got going. It seems to me that I 
should be able to get what I've currently got going into just one screen. 
Part of the problem is that there are boundary conditions, and I don't 
think I've discovered the clearest way of handling them yet.

But, it does seem to be working properly relative to what I want it to do. 
Another factoring session or two, and I'll see about dumping it as PNG 
graphics or something, and posting it somewhere, if anyone is interested.
