[PD] The Game of Life

Hey All

Bit of an early Christmas present.

It's a pure-data based, 16x16 version of Jon Conways "Game of Life" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life). Perhaps the geekiest thing I've ever done.

It's all zipped up because I've used a few abstractions, just uncompress to a single folder and open OpenMe.pd

Would love to hear what you guys think of this. Particularly interested in:

• Does anyone know if it's been done in puredata before? Can I get hold of it?
• Is it well documented enough?
• Does it work on different operating systems (was made on ubuntu (netbook remix) so some of it may not transfer)?
• How might you improve on this?

I may, in the longer run, be planning to use this for a generative music patch. Don't know if that means anything to you.

Cheers

Andrew
