Program Title: LIFE FORMS
LIFE FORMS is an excellent version of the game of life
developed by the mathematician John Conway. The LIFE FORM program
creates video patterns that evolve like biological cells,
according to a certain growth rate. This program takes Conway's
simple game and adds many additional features, including eight
extra different growth rules for producing whole new families of
screen images. The images are extremely colorful and interesting
to watch, especially on an EGA monitor! This program is extremely
simple to use, with lots of on-screen help and self explanatory
menus. The "life forms" that you create can be stored, retrieved,
edited, and deleted (killed). More than 100 life patterns are
supplied on the program disk, with room for 240 in all. You can
"capture a specimen from the zoo" or you can design a life form
according to your own specifications. You can control many
factors that influence the growth cycle: complexity of
development, species of the life form, its pigmentation (color),
habitat, and its original seed shape. There is a library of seed
patterns stored on disk, which have been specifically chosen for
the interesting results that they tend to produce. You can choose
one of these, edit them, or devise your own seed form. If you
need help, you can always view the parameters for each of the
life forms that are supplied on this disk. As your LIFE FORM
starts growing, you can control how fast each growth step is
displayed on the screen and you can even pause your life form's
development. Most of the weak species will "die" almost as soon
as they begin, but these species often produce more interesting
patterns if you can coax them to life. After viewing a newly
created LIFE FORM, you can always go back to change certain
patterns to see what developments take place. LIFE FORMS requires
an IBM PC or compatible with 128K memory, one disk drive, color
graphics adapter, color monitor, and DOS 2.1 or later. If you want your
chance to be creative and see how computer life-forms evolve, this is it!
System Requirements: 128K of memory and a color graphics adapter.
Program Title: CROSSWORD CREATOR version 2.50
CROSSWORD CREATOR was designed primarily for educators, but
can be used by anyone who enjoys designing or solving crossword
puzzles. It provides the tools needed to lay out a crossword
puzzle on the computer's screen, define a short clue for each
word in the puzzle, and save puzzle to disk so it may be used
again and again.
In addition to the design features, CWC has a "solve" mode
where anyone the can work with a pre-defined puzzle. CWC shows
the layout of the completed puzzle, but does not display the
letters themselves. By viewing the clues for each word and
supplying the proper letters, the puzzle can be exactly the same
way as a traditional crossword.
System Requirements: 256K memory and one floppy drive, printer is
optional.
