Here is a version of Dans Game of Life that almost work ;-P Some methods have changed names and I'm not sure about the BilBlt combinations rules used.

It's tricky to get high performance GameOfLife in Squeak.
Have you never seen the BitBLT based version Dan Ingalls wrote a gazillion years ago? It used to be in the Squeak image, or at least I feel pretty sure it was.
