In a well designed app, you'd have "grid" instance variable instead of
"cellsAlive"
so then it could be something like...
LifeGrid >> storeGeneration
generations ifNil: [generations := OrderedCollection new].
generations add: grid copy.
but perhaps manipulating a single grid in-place causes complications
and you are better off
replacing the whole grid each generation. Then you don't need the #copy.
