Package: xlife Version: 5.0-8 Followup-For: Bug #196498 The golly package is another implementation of Life, and has a working pattern called Breeder. The data file is in a different format to xlife.
>From xlife's manpage: Old files in #P format may not have same y coordinate when read by the new release. For best results, use "lifeconv -p name ..." on old files. Running that on all of xlife's files doesn't fix it, but does produce a pattern that's about half-way between the broken version and golly's version. The result is not in itself interesting. Having seen xlife and golly side-by-side, golly 1.4 (which is in unstable) has a far better UI but not as many rulesets as xlife. Golly 2.0 has recently been released (not in Debian yet), and from its changelog looks like it will completely obsolete xlife. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
