Hello fellow CPC programmers,
Here is my next instalment of Z80 coding.  Step by step programming of the Cellular Automation program 'The Game of Life'.  It was partially inspired by a previous post.

Any easy way to learn Z80 that brings Life to the Amstrad.

(Yet Another) Game Of Life for the Amstrad CPC using the Z80

My next video will (hopefully) be on building your own Joystick for the Amstrad CPC 464.

Enjoy...

Nice.
I found that one, 3 gens per second ... https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/programming/amstrifejohn-conways-game-of-life-for-the-cpcfast-many-features-on-the-way!/25/ - not for programmin help, but maybe dissassemble and learn some tricks ;)

I disassembled it and it has a similar approach to mine.  It is just a lot more refined.  It has a nice way to represent the rules that are based on a lookup table and can be changed to create your own variant on the rules. 

btw: If anyone reads this, how do you embed youtube videos on this forum? does [youtube][\youtube] work?
