[svg-developers] Conway's Game of Life
Between driving 2 * 650 km, amusing the kids and visiting my in-laws over the Easter break, I managed to put together an SVG version of John Conway's Game of Life: http://members.optusnet.com.au/khsoh/0009.xhtml The interesting bits are: * Using SVG lines to create a raster by twiddling the lines' stroke-dasharray attribute. * Making the demonstration work for Firefox and Opera 9 was straightfoward, but I had no idea how to make it work for MSIE + ASV because MSIE does not support the DOM function createElementNS(). * The demonstration ran like a dog until I spent some time optimzing the Javascript code. It's still not blazing fast but I can't think of any more tricks. I picked up the stroke-dasharray tip from Kevin Lindsey and Martin Honnen showed me how to use ASV's SVGDocument properly.

Interesting application! I get about 7 frames per second on my AMD-64 3200 CPU, with about 40 objects instantiated.
