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
