Artoo Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 No this is not a corny discussion thread, it's another wonderful little diversion! I'm not sure if you know about this but a mathmetician invented this game called life, and it did some very interesting things when people programmed it into some of the first computers. Anyway try out the java version, and take some screenshots of interesting setups! The Game of Life
Surfnshannon Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 i accidently downloaded that once thinking it was "the game of life" you know the board game where you can have like 50 children etc....I couldn't figure it out "this game of life"....wierd
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 Oh, that. I got that on my ancient Mac which no-one ever uses. I never understood how to use it.
WolfmanNCSU Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 I have made this exact same "game" before. It was 2 years ago, not very hard, and was written in assembler.
Darth Homer Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 I tried to run it...I need MS virtual machine to do it and guess what? Microsoft says it's not going to be available (again) until service pack 1 comes out...it WAS available back before Sun filed a lawsuit against MS, so as of July 10, it's off their site...and I installed XP at the tail end of July, so it's not even on my machine...add to that, the fact that I can't get it from anywhere else bc they all link back to MS's site!! AAAAARRRGHH!!!!
Darth Homer Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 oh, ok...I would still like it for other reasons....some of the Java enabled websites, for me, aren't.
DashRendar Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Hey! I actually LIKE this game! If you could call it a game...but I still like it!
