I have a life game that supports a 65536x65536 universe.  The calculation
speed is dependant on the complexity of the object.  With a single tumbler
on the universe, I found that I had to add a slow down command because it
was calculating so fast that it appeared to move real slow (>60 generations
per second).  Cells may be 1x1, 2x2, 4x4, or 8x8 pixels and only hires/
interlace/1-plane is supported.  Life forms may be saved to in files, but
the user interface here really sucks.  Other than that, though, it makes a
good demo (if your audiance can appreciate Life)!

As usual with my programs, anyone who mails me can have a copy, but not
the source.
