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
 
I wouldn't mention if it was a real Christmas present :o) but it throws some "r13 ... couldn't create" errors and hooks my CPU (2,2GHz Opteron) heavily without clicking "start". When clicking "start" nothing happens, perhaps because of the subpatches that didn't create. (Pd-ex autobuild of 2010-11-23)
Repair it, Daddy! :o)
