    When I was learning c++ in high school, I made a working 10x10 implementation of Conway’s Life before I had learned about arrays.

    Even then I didn’t do it like this. Just had 200 variables for the front and back buffers, and one big function with individual checks for each grid coord variable to check it’s neighbors.
