An implementation of Conway's Game of Life on the Pico-8!

Many PICO-8 implementations of Conway's Game of Life are very slow at 128x128. This implementation uses the PICO-8's RAM rather than Lua tables to increase performance significantly.

Your version still maxes out cpu with the number of pget/pset operations.
See: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=43556 for a full memory-ops based version (much less readable I admit :)
