This is an 40x40 grid implementation of "Conway's Game of Life" written from scratch in 6502 Assembly to run on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

Because of the 40x40 grid size in this implementation along with likely nonoptimal code, it takes about 1.25 to 1.5 seconds to calculate the next board state. I would like to apologize for how slow this program is and may look into improving the computation speed in the future.
