I think I once made a Morph called LifeMorph, that used the BitBlt magic Tim mentioned. That was pretty fast 20 years ago.

I can't say I have the code handy, but I do find it mentioned here for example.

Very cool. I would not volunteer to refactor that :-D

It's tricky to get high performance GameOfLife in Squeak.

Here is a morph I worked on. I use an array as data structure.

Each cell is an integer. 

Neighbouring cells alive are 0 to 8 and alive cell are 10 + neighbours.

It gets a decent framerate.

Best,

Karl

A fabulous example of Turing completeness and by far the most sophisticated Life system I’ve seen.
