[PD] a tiny game of life

[BanjoBob Faraday]

Enjoying this, I can't think if my (gem) implementation was a bit quicker, I think it was for each generation but took a while to initialize (it used a lot of objects to generate what I think was a smaller grid). 

I like the idea, although each generation is slow. 

Oh, it makes more sense to use [t b a] and a [del] to automatically continue, rather than [metro], so it works a little more consistently.
