Interesting, I guess, December 27, 2014Not to my taste, really, but I can't hold my taste against it. It works perfectly well, and some people might enjoy watching it.

Good old times, December 17, 2013by Simon Deimel (Germany)
I remember something similar that ran on my old Amstrad machine, a public domain version. You could place cells and simulate their culture, based on a mathematic algorithm. Depending on the original pattern that you created, interesting geometries would come to life. This is basically quite the same process. I regard this as a great example of what is possible with Inform. There is hardly any interactivity, so it is really just a demonstration and not a game. It could have been expanded or some pieces of information added.

I take it that Duncan Stevens has never heard of Conway's Game of Life. It is truly incredible that someone was able to create this in z code. Well done.Was this review helpful to you? Yes No | Add a comment

Although various interpreters were written to facilitate play and creation of interactive stories, it should be obvious that some people would find ways to write computer games using the various aspects of the interpreters.
