Conway's Life for the Apple II

As a quick test of cc65, I wrote Conway’s Life. It’s a messy, inefficient implementaton, but it works!

The last time I wrote Apple II software was probably 16 years ago, and in BASIC, not C. Today it’s much easier to code on my G5 in a real text editor, test on an emulator, then copy to disk for the real thing.

Here is the source: life.c

Here is a DOS 3.3 disk image containing “BENLIFE:” benlife.dsk

If you’re really bored and want to try it on an emulator or real Apple II, just boot from the disk image and BRUN BENLIFE.
