T H I S I S F R E E W A R E ! "Life" program, by Charles W. Reace, Jr., Berlin, NJ. This is a fairly simple C++ program I wrote to help teach myself programming in C. It is the now veneralble game of life, where each "*" on the display screen represents a cell of life on some theoretical growth medium. A few simple rules determine whether each cell lives, dies, and/or creates life in adjacent cells. Each instantiation of this program will run until 200 generations have elapsed, or until the population reaches 0; at which point a new random start- ing pattern will be generated and it all starts over again. Pressing any key will abort the program. The source code is included in this zipfile. Please feel free to make copies of all files and distribute as desired, without any alterations. Please also feel free to edit the source (compiled with Borland's Turbo C++ for the PC) to make any enhancements and then distribute under your own name. Perhaps you might turn it into a screen-saver program, using a different color scheme each instantiation.
