Game of Life :D

Just finished this! It's Conway's game of life. Click while the game is paused to make a live cell. Spacebar toggles pause. Right arrow while paused moves it ahead a single generation. Backspace kills all live cells, pauses, and resets the amount of generations. There are comments in the code where there are settings you can edit. I hope you like it!

Awesome. I own the original issues of Scientific American which, I believe, were the first publications dealing with this system. Just one of the fine things to come out of the 1970s.

Ah, yes, I love Conway. I was lucky to have met and talked with him, too...
Good fun. Crazy cellular automaton Turing Machines.

Not totally boring, as opposed to all other gols I tried.

Please allow to drag-and-draw instead of having to click each field.

Maybe it would be good too if the field that would be filled if you clicked would shine a little. (So you can see where you'll draw.)

Alright! I finished doing what you just said. Enjoy!

The brush is a bit funny, as it will change the field it is on to its opposite, as opposed to the more intuitive "it will draw what it drawed on first press". It is not a problem though - it creates more interesting results imho

PS: it's confusing (for me) to not see where your mouse is. maybe a slight indicator would help

You should add saving and loading. It would be awesome.


Try that

Some suggestions:
Left click to place, right click to remove.
A grid (toggleable?).
More colors? Make it colorful! .
Show the list of controls while F1 is held down.
