Life goes on, even with the Pandemic. However we have some real life casualties, like the late John Horton Conway. Although he was not happy to be mostly associated with the cellular automaton "Game of Life", he acknowledged its importance for mathematics and computer science.
Let's pay a tribute to him by live coding an assembler version and let's try to make it less than 512 bytes, so we might fit it in a boot sector!
