This is my own version of a fancy Life program. It was written in C over a period of many years. It runs using both curses and X11. Other output devices should be easy to add. This program is not meant to be incredibly fast (use xlife for that:-). But it IS meant to allow the easy editing and viewing of Life objects. It can handle very large Life objects, and handles multiple objects at the same time. Some of its features are very powerful. The Makefile will probably need changing to load the X11 libraries correctly for your machine. Besides this package, you can also get the related dblifelib package which contains my library of interesting Life objects. By default the Life program expects the library to be installed in /usr/local/games/lib. The latest version of the program can be found in my web page at: http://tip.net.au/~dbell I hope you enjoy playing with this program. Suggestions for improvements are welcome. David I.
