I've written at least 10 different versions of Conway's Game of Life, so far this is my best one.

Wayne,
Use code blocks when posting code....

[ code ]
this is code
[ /code ]

Remove the spaces and it looks like:

Code Select Expand


this is code


Which retains formatting and gives a scrollable window.

jees, all turley cares about on that one was how things were layed out (though he's very right)

its a very efficient way of processing conway, except how do you start it?

[Ionic Wind Support Team]

I'll cut you some slack, since I have kids older than you, in fact all of them are older.   

I care about everything here, as it is my site and languages and he was having trouble posting code directly, which I why I informed him how to do it.

it is difficult to tell when someone is scoulding or suggesting nicely on the internet, words only make up 7 % of communication. after reading what i typed myself i was a bit shocked, what i typed had a very different meaning to what i meant.

sorry if i offended you

how did i get negative three karma?

Someone smited you, it's next to your profile picture.

I think you'll find in most of my applications - there are numerous undocumented keyboard shortcuts that are essential to make it run.

the letter R and 1 does 1 generation then prints.
2 does 2 generations then prints,
3 does 3 generations then prints,
And so on until you get to 9.

Also, as a bonus feature 0 does 0 generations then prints. I think that my implementation of this feature is brilliant

thats funny, because ive tried every single key except the numbers. even F1-F12. probably wasnt paying attention when i did the R.

im trying to build a simulated brain with neurons, but ill have to work out how neurons interact. cant find any solid reserch yet on the internet, the teachers wouldnt tell me because they want me to do the subject for electives and then find out. it wont go very far.

That sounds interesting. Is it supposed to be a visual simulation similar to iLife or is it related to AI?

[yujinwunz]

probably an ai one. if its efficient enough, im hoping it will eventually be capable of doing my coding. not very likely, i have 100 billion neurons and having trouble myself, but yet again my brain probably needs to do a million more stuff than just coding.

if i can teach it to talk while i give it visual stimulation that would be very good. again, i have no experience in neuron things so i might be pushing my expectations a little too far.

but techmail, where should i start reading anyway?

I'm surprised you don't find much information. I suspect you just have poor search skills.

wait, i did but most of it you had to subscribe or buy at very high prices. my project isnt going to be a very serious one, you know. looks like nasa or some tech company is going to build a computer chip that mimics neoron behavior. im not going to finish my rig in time for that.
