- I am currently in the process of trying to write a Life program
- for the PC. I would like any and all suggestions for possible
- algorithms and methods for computing next generation,displaying,
- storing, etc...
-
- In particular, I would like to know more about the algorithm
- used in Xlife. It seems rather intriguing, but as such is
- poorly documented and I don't really have access to any sort of
- X-term to run it.
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance!
