|
|
I wrote the game of life for my com sci final project.
Got perfect -2 marks for no comments +2 bonus marks.
Right now it runs pretty slow in large grids, but I am working on another linked list implementation that will be faster. For now I disable the "Survive/Birth Rules" since it was EXTREMELY slow using the arrays (required the use of string.indexOf() constantly in an infinite loop). I will reenable it latter with the linked list.
Some sizes/grids do not work correctly. They will be drawn fine, but only function for a certain portion of the grid (this is due to the way I calculated the gird, try 300/800 grid for an example of what I mean).
You can try my online applet here: http://www3.sympatico.ca/roy.kissore/Life.html

I forgot to mention that the first box needs to be less than or equal to half of the second.
FIRST BOX = GRID SIZE
SECOND BOX = SIZE OF GRID IN PIXELS

Ok, it has been a long time...
Let's just say I was bored and decided, out of the random, to update my program. Well that is pretty much the turth. I want to dedicate some summer time to imporving my programmnig skills. Which includes my java skills and a start on learning C/C++.
Although identical in appearence, I rewrote a ton of code. I did a lot of clean up. It is over 200 lines shorter now thanks to inheritance and has three working grids to play with. I also fix quite a few bugs and made some optimzations to the threads.
Enjoy!

PS: The Survive/Birth IS STILL DISABLED. I plan to implenment this later then I chanage the 2d arrays to linked list. I can enable now, but it is EXETREMELY slow on an array even on high-end processors.
