Conway's Game of Life

[James T. Perconti]

I implemented Conway's Game of Life in Puzzle Script the other day and realized I should maybe post it here in the forums.

Only thing I'm not happy about is I don't think there's a way to stop it after it starts running and be able to mess with the state from where it left off (z of course lets you get back to where you started)

Nice. :)

Some others (myself included) have had a go at implementing the Game of Life:

Your implementation turned out fairly similar to Felix's, but I like how you used again rules.

I imagine this would be possible using the realtime_interval prelude setting. Give it a try! :)

Oh woops, I had totally missed that thread.  That's what I get for waiting like two weeks after Puzzle Script came out to start participating in the forums.

Yeah I've thought about using realtime_interval, but I haven't gotten around to trying it out yet.

Right, and with realtime on it could check for whether there the go button exists when it's running.
Undo wouldn't work though.

This is pretty cool BTW.
