Game of Life - Java version

Original source downloaded from Vintage Basic

Conversion to Oracle Java

Requirements

Requires Java 17 (or later)

Notes

The Java version of Game of Life tries to mimics the behaviour of the BASIC version. However, the Java code does not have much in common with the original.

Differences in behaviour:

Input supports the . character, but it's optional.
Evaluation of DONE input string is case insensitive.
Run with the -s command line argument to halt the program after each generation, and continue when ENTER is pressed.
