The Golly Game of Life Simulator Description

Golly is an open source, cross-platform Game of Life simulator. Golly project is an open source, cross-platform Game of Life simulator currently under development by Andrew Trevorrow and Tomas Rokicki.Our goal is to write a world-class Life simulator, solicit ideas and help from the planet's best Life hackers, and share some of our excitement.Here are some key features of "The Golly Game of Life Simulator":· Unbounded universe (limited only by memory). · Fast, memory-efficient conventional algorithm. · Super fast hashing algorithm for highly regular patterns. · Responsive even while generating or garbage collecting. · Reads RLE, Life 1.05/1.06, and macrocell formats. · Can paste in patterns from the clipboard. · Auto fit option keeps patterns sized to the window. · Full screen option (no menu/status/tool/scroll bars). · Built-in HTML help system (thanks to wxWidgets).What's New in This Release:· The X11 version of Golly has a number of bugs and limitations, so use the GTK version if you can (it requires GTK+ 2.x).· If you want to build Golly from the source distribution then to avoid various bugs use wxGTK 2.7 or later.
