SVG runs GOL with JS

Conway's Game of Life in SVG

Apparently, scalable vector graphics files can run JavaScript via <script> tags. It probably runs Doom too but I've never implemented Conway's Game of Life so that's what you get instead. You need to download and open in your own browser to see it in action due to security settings from GitHub disabling these tags to run.
