Life mode and life don't work properly on my machine, a 3B2-600 running
V.3.1.1 and with GNUemacs 18.54.2 (I think).  Deaths occur, but no
births... which makes for a pretty uninteresting game.  Is there a
patch for this extant?

What would be better, in fact, is a version of life where the user
could pick the starting configuration, and blink it along by hand, so
there would be plenty of time to study each generation.  I seem to
remember CCA emacs had a mode like that.  Has anyone built a .el file
which will do this that I could plug in to GNUemacs?

These aren't opinions; they are merely ruminations.
