   4 DESCRIPTION:
   5
   6 The classic game of Life showing use of dispatch queues as lightweight threads (each cell is a queue), and an example of how to avoid overloading a slow queue (OpenGL or curses screen updates) with many requests (cell updates) by using a timer to drive the screen updates and allowing the cells to update as fast as they can.
