@sierdzio - updated Game Of Life

tucnak

Hi, people, and especially @sierdzio!

@sierdzio, I've read your old code (from "this":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewreply/90102/ comment in "this":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/18404/ thread and created my own Game Of Life. I wrote it in three hours, so it can't be really cool, but it has functionallity of your implementation.

Source code on "GitHub":https://github.com/tucnak/conway.

P.S. My russian "post":http://habrahabr.ru/post/147208/ about it.

I am planning to add extra functionallity like setting number of generations, opportunity to add extra rules via QtScript and etc.

Well, I'm happy to see my code is put to some use :) I have noticed now, that I have not specified ANY license for that project... but I don't care much. Let's say it's GPLv2, but can be changed if you need it to be different :) This way you can borrow code from my project, if you want to.

Nice work, for just 3 hours it's really impressive! No Langton's Ant there, though.

Be sure to check out "Golly":http://golly.sourceforge.net/, it's powerful, too.

How many iterations until entities become sentient? ;)

Not sure, but last time I turned it on and left for some time, and then got back, two gliders were already playing chess with each other...

Thanks for "Golly" - I will check out it. And I haven't used your code ;-) - only design concept. But AFAIK - GUI can't be protected under licenses.

Yeah I have noticed, I had a quick look into the code before writing my post. It was meant more like a declaration for the future: if you want to take any part of the code, feel free to :)

As for GUI you are right, the famous Apple-Microsoft court case has it settled (at least in USA) years ago.

I've trying this game and it's very nice, didn't know about it.
Off topic: has for GUI not being protected under licenses, anybody knows the terms of ribbon MS license, just out of curiosity ?

sierdzio

There is no GUI licensing at all. The only way to protect a GUI is by using patents (or arguing fiercely for copyright in court). The code that generates the GUI, however, can have a license.
