Next challenge: Run Game of Life in Finder emulating a Mac running Finder.

I wonder if you could do this with DS_Store files (not the emulating MacOS, but just the game of life thing), so initially you make some new folders in a pattern, right click, align. (So it's all on a grid)

Then run the script, it reads the position of folders from the DS_Store file, updates it with the new positions of the next frame of folders, or creates/delete folders if needed.

In a rush to catch up with his team heading out for friday afternoon beers, Bob grabs his jacket and backpack and fails to notice he left Flappy Bird Implemented in MacOS running. It's a bank weekend. Bob doesn't know it, but his laptop SSD write cycles are being eaten up at a rate of 4 frames per second. Bob returns on Tuesday to find his SSD drive no longer works.

I wonder if anyone who gets Flappy Dird running at work is ever really likely to be 'in a rush'?

In a rush to leave work for beers??? Most definitely.
