Very nice! One thing that would be very nice, though, is the ability to erase cells as well as add them -- when setting up structures, a mistake is basically impossible to fix.

Save-states would be very cool too.

Yes, now that I've actually tried copying some patterns into it, it is pretty frustrating not being able to erase cells. I think I'll keep working on this and release a new version later with the erase feature and some more features (probably including saving/loading.)

I've played life for years, first in an Apple Pascal program written by a friend, later having to write one myself in FORTRAN, only being given the original article by Conway to start from. One thing I'm wondering if you would be able to add to this edition is a population count, especially when zoomed out fully it would be handy to know just how many of the dots are living from generation to generation.

Thanks.

I've updated DSlife with your suggestions/requests (erasing, saving/loading, counting alive cells) and uploaded it here. My homebrew system I made for this site wasn't really made to handle new versions so I uploaded it to the same place and renamed it to DSlife 3.5.

Thanks for the comments by the way!

Hello, I just tested yesterday your homebrew. Very great.
May I add some suggestions?
- Would it be possible to wrap the "cells" screen. It would be great if the cells evolution can continue accross the screen borders. Some cells topology can stay alive and always progress, it could be great to see them dissappear at the top and re-appear at the bottom (a modulo function can take care of this).
- Would it be possible to use a physical button to toggle between erase and draw? switching the screen is time consuming or perhaps we don't need the eraser at all and the stylus can just invert the cell state?
- I would like a way to go directly to the center of the screen. I find really great how symetrical patterns evolve to create mandala like structure, it's thus important for me to be able to "pan" to the exact center of the field
- It would be also great that the reset function doesn't reset the zoom but let it at the same settings.
- It would be great also to have a grey transitional state between 2 generations (at least in the step mode). This would give a less flickering display and beautifull drawings.
- A way to save the output screen in jpg would be great too.

I know this is a lot of requests. I guess that's because I'm using more Life in a artistic way than some other users (I'm also using glitchds to produce beats from the game of life).

Nice work !!!. Thanks a lot for this homebrew.
