Re: A86: Re: game of life




yeah, but i do it with logical operators instead of a straight compare
at least i think that's what i use, it's been a while since i wrote that
part of the code.  it uses the standard rules, whatever they are.

that's: [new cell value] = not ( [neighbor count bit 2] and  [neighbor
count bit 1] and ( [neighbor count bit 0] or [old cell value] ) )
