I made Conway's Game of Life in the Digital Logic Simulation. It works by cycling over each cell in the grid and checking if it it on with 2 or 3 cells around it on or off with 3 cells on around it, if either of these conditions are met it writes that cell on otherwise, off. After every cell has been set it refreshes and loops. I used 8 hidden dot displays so that it can check all of the neighbours at once. Right now it is only a 16x16 screen, I am considering upscaling but it takes 6 ticks per cell, so increasing size increases time. If you have suggestions on how to make it better, let me know.

Dude, that's really cool. And smart implementation too.
