Lame games for RSTS/E.
life.mac The game of life, as described in Scientific American ages
ago by John Horton Conway. Requires a VT100/VT52 terminal,
when you first start it you're in an input editor. Arrow
keys move, as do the 123/46/789 keys on the keypad. Keypad
"5" key toggles the cell under the cursor w/o moving, "0"
toggles and moves cursor right, space bar clears a cell and
moves cursor right, <CR> moves cursor to start of next line.
Press <ESC> twice to start the game going, the screen is
updated with each new generation and stops if the program
notices that all cells are dead, static, or oscillating
(well it makes a reasonable attempt to detect this anyway).
