AXlife    1.0    Amiga port of Xlife 2.0

AXlife is based on Xlife, the definitive life program, which runs
under the X-Windows graphical interface (which overlays UNIX). AXlife
incorporates an Amiga-specific interface, but the basic generation
code remains the same as in Xlife 2.0. AXlife can also read files
produced by Al Hensel's IBM PC program 'Life', which has a very
similar format. The most important feature of Xlife (and AXlife) is
that, unlike most life programs, it does not limit the pattern to the
size of the screen. Xlife does not think in terms of a rectangular
grid, but instead considers the pattern to be composed of 8x8 boxes
containing active life elements. This allows Xlife to cope with
arbitrarily large patterns (up to a maximum size of 2^32 by 2^32 (2^32
= 4,294,967,296)). AXlife comes with a large (219) library of example
patterns.
