User guide

It is a kind of artificial life simulation with very simple rules but who creates amazing patterns. It is more a scientific stuff than a game: There's life, death, drama, complexity... even sex. And all of that showing in pixel mode.

Feel free to add more patterns (and create your owns).

Controls

Stylus - draw patterns (start plotting your name and click ">"!)

Arrows - move the zoom entire playing surface
Buttons on the left - relatively intuitive
Bottom - load/save patterns
Scroll buttons with "v" and "^" - place it (click on a name and an area of ​​the screen)

Changelog

Second release - Second week of spring, 2007

  • New version of PAlib: the code seems to run faster and the font is nicer.
  • Invisible keyboard bug when saving fixed. (There's now just a little glitch but nothing major.)
  • Saving optimised: lines with no living cells are writed with only one '.', so it save a few bytes.
  • Color mode added !
  • Zoom added !
  • Patterns updated. Now with 211 cool patterns !
  • And of course, lot of small buf gix.

First release - First day of spring, 2007
