This is a program that demonstrates Conway's Life game, with an added complexity — it operates on three levels (Red, Blue, Yellow). Remember, that the colour are additive so if a Red and Blue exist on the same square, the resultant colour is magenta. If ALL colour are on the square, the square looks white, etc. This code was not written by Gen5, but by M. Stricklin (1997) and came with Metrowerks Codewarrior. Used with explicit permission from Metrowerks.

To use the application, select a colour (or colours) and draw the pattern you want, then click "RUN" to start the process. Click here to find out more about Conway's Life.
