Enjoying this, I can't think if my (gem) implementation was a bit quicker, I think it was for each generation but took a while to initialize (it used a lot of objects to generate what I think was a smaller grid). <br><br>I like the idea, although each generation is slow. <br><br>Oh, it makes more sense to use [t b a] and a [del] to automatically continue, rather than [metro], so it works a little more consistently. <br><br><br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 10:08:20 -0800<br>> From: jancsika@yahoo.com<br>> To: matju@artengine.ca<br>> CC: pd-list@iem.at<br>> Subject: Re: [PD] a tiny game of life<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> ----- Original Message -----<br>> > From: Mathieu Bouchard <matju@artengine.ca><br>> > To: Jonathan Wilkes <jancsika@yahoo.com><br>> > Cc: "pd-list@iem.at" <pd-list@iem.at><br>> > Sent: Friday, February 17, 2012 1:02 PM<br>> > Subject: Re: [PD] a tiny game of life<br>> > <br>> > Le 2012-02-17 à 09:26:00, Jonathan Wilkes a écrit :<br>> > <br>> >> I don't have GF installed at the moment but I can imagine it can do it <br>> > with even fewer objects.<br>> > <br>> > The core of it is 3 objects.
