Besides Assembler does not lend itself easily to that kind of thing. I have written a set of TSO toys with Conway's Life, Langton's Ant and now Pseudo Go. All these can run manually or automatically and in the case of Pseudo Go it can play against itself. This game required the building of array handling constructs in macro form because Assembler lacks any useful of that sort. I have packaged it up in a .zip file with a manual for people who want to waste their z/OS power.
