Making a fresh start, in Pascal

I've recently been made aware that there is a page devoted to BitGrid in the Esoteric Languages wiki. Needless to say, this came as a bit of a shock to me. I was particularly impressed with the working example of the game of life implemented in a BitGrid.

I've let this project sit far too long, and since I've got nothing but free time these days, I'm pushing at implementing a simulator for the BitGrid, in Lazarus, which is a GUI builder based on Free Pascal.  The GitHub repository for the project has the latest code, which isn't much to look at for the moment.

I'm hoping that I can sustain small bits of progress that add up over time.

Eventually, I'll have a system to really allow programming and evaluation of programs. It would then be on to a chip design, and onward to Exaflop computing. ;-)
