I understand there is a version developed for Symbios , but I am not familiar with how that works. So wondered if there was a version available , under a different name for the CPC?
Yes, there are a couple. Somewhere it was all posted in the forum. :)
EDIT: That could be one:
Conway's Game of Life for CPC—very fast+many features coming! New: QuadLife! (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/programming/amstrifejohn-conways-game-of-life-for-the-cpcfast-many-features-on-the-way!/)

Yes, the one for SymbOS is this one:
I developed it because of these reasons:
1.) demonstrating multithreading on the Z80 inside the multitasking environment of SymbOS: the app uses a second task for calculating the field and which is working at a lower priority
2.) provide the possibility to define alternative rules beside the classic 23/3 rule; I included the interesting "copy world" rule but you can define even 2^18 rules in total as well :)
3.) includes a huge library of objects; SymbOS Conway's Game of Life contains more than 200 different figures which can be used to create own fields
I didn't find these three features in other 8bit implementations yet?
