- FASTLIFE.DOC 1.00 by Carl Flarity
-
- This is an improved version of the LIFE program
- already in the FOG library. It is written in Z80
- Assembly code and thus executes much faster than
- the other versions. You also have the option of
- changing patterns as succeeding generations
- proceed.
-
- You may enter patterns a line at a time or use the
- number pad as a "joy-stick" to reposition the cusor.
-
- The size of the "universe" is 60 columns by 32
- lines. Patterns wrap around at the edges so that the
- left edge continues onto right edge, bottom edge
- continues onto top edge.
-
- Note that FASTLIFE uses Z80 code and writes directly
- into CRT memory assuming width of 128 characters. It
- seems feasible to adapt this program to a non-
- OSBORNE Z80 CP/M system given the source code
- provided in FASTLIFE.ASM.
