Hi folks,
Last night at around midnight, I finished what I'd like to call the "improved edition" port of Conway's Game of Life for the APPLE-1.
This was more of a personal project—really just fixing a few annoyances—than anything else, but I figured I'd share it with you all and see what you think.
Essentially, it's a UX improvement of the original APPLE-1 Life port (https://landonjsmith.com/hcprogs/life.hc). It behaves more like what you'd typically expect from a minicomputer implementation: it starts with a random seed instead of asking for your full name, runs continuously instead of stopping for user input after every generation, and generally feels a bit more natural to use.
The source code will be available soon for anyone who wants it.
You can watch a demo here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1PVybohU5g
Cheers,
Landon
