The Glider is alive! It has successfully wrapped around the toroidal array and
is crawling across your terminal.
You are currently witnessing the C daemon reading from and writing to the
0x1000 memory offset entirely on its own. Now we will close the loop: we will
instruct the Node.js LPC Virtual Machine to look into that exact same physical
memory offset, parse the bytes, and hand them to your in-game actors.
Because we already exposed the 64-byte Control Header as an Int32Array in
global.ctrlView, we can access the underlying raw SharedArrayBuffer via
global.ctrlView.buffer. We will cast a new Uint8Array view starting at offset
0x1000 to read the exact 800 bytes of the grid.
