Does anyone out on the net use Sintar Software's Cell Master? I just got
a copy for Xmas and was so intrigued that I searched my .newsrc to find
this group.
This program lists for $45 and is for IBM PC's only as of this writing.
It includes Conway's Life, a cell editor, a rules editor, and many simple
constructs, including a set of cells and rules that allow the construction
of a Virtual Computer. I am in the process of making a Full Adder circuit.
The rules are:
Conway
Sum Values
Euclid
Difference
Rotational
Planar
Separable
...and Exhaustive
There is a contest to find the following:
New Rule sets
Still Life with a speed of zero
Gliders
Puffers
Guns
Garden Of Eden (only *you* can create this out of random chaos!)
Sintar also makes a very good fractal package and various addons to it.
Sintar Software
1001 4th Ave. Suite 3200
Seattle, WA 98154
(206) 625-1213
I would be interested in trading interesting rule sets and cell forms.
DISCLAIMER: I just like this package and want a dialog...I don't own stock
nor do I work for Sintar or affiliates (if any).

There have been some Life implementations done using the Amiga's bit blitter to do the entire calculation for the screen refresh, which make it possible to run Life at 30 generations a second in high resolution (640x400) mode! Not too shabby for a home computer. I don't know much about the blitter ruleset, so I don't know how successful one could be at programming more complex cellular automaton rulesets into it, but it would be fun to see the results. By the way, I _love_ your .siggie quote, and promptly stole a copy. Kent, the man from xanth. <xanthian@Zorch.SF-Bay.ORG> <xanthian@well.sf.ca.us>
