piquadrat:
Thanks for the keymap. I'm still working on it, despite not giving that many status updates anymore. Problem is, I still couldn't get a hold of Micheal Abrash to ask for permission to put my modified code of his under the GPL... :-[

I just found this in another Book by Abrash, "Ramblings in Real Time":

--- Quote --- You may use the code and techniques described herein without limitation; the intent is not to reserve rights to the ideas or technology, but rather to disseminate the ideas and technology so that it may be widely used.
--- End quote ---

So he seems quite open to reusage of his code... is this enough for the plugin to be released as GPL?

Multiplex:
Well the 'slow' one works at a sensible speed on the H300...

You'd need a lawyer to determine what the interpretation of that in relation to the GPL is - there are some folks hear about who are very oppinionated about licenses (I have no way of assessing their knowledge) you could try a forum search for GPL to locate the names.

I'm still looking for set pieces/enhancements - I turned up a thing I played with called ants which is another CA thing, now all I need is to find the book I got it from.

man:
hi,

when will this be put to flyspray and/or wiki?
Don't want this to get lost.

I was not aware of any GOL projects ongoing and I started doing a GOL plugin two days ago from scratch. It's called rocklife.

The plugin supports different start configurations (Random, acorn, growth, growth_2 and glider gun). There is colour support for aging, play/pause and step mode. I tuned the algorithm a bit but there are still tons of speed improvements possible. It should run on all platforms except the HAVE_LCD_CHARCELLS models.

Please find the patch here: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/6616

Chronon:
Awesome!  Thanks for working on this and submitting it to the tracker!

I won't have time to patch this for a while, but I'll probably have a play this weekend.
