- add all other options like size etc - add gif export - add toolbar (not working yet, see branch trackui) - only draw visible part of the world - print current mode to the bottom like pause, insert and mark - add https://www.ibiblio.org/lifepatterns/october1970.html - history: dont count age but do calc to get index to age tile based on cell age - maybe pre calc neighbors as 8 slice of pointers to neighboring cells to faster do the count see various-tests/perf-2dim-pointers/: it's NOT faster :( - use an array of 8 pointers to neighbors. on edge just add either fake dead neighbors or the wrap around neighbors. - try arche ecs variant with either a component of the cells neighbors or using relations. - https://mattnakama.com/blog/go-branchless-coding/ - add performance measurements, see: DrawTriangles: https://github.com/TLINDEN/testgol WritePixels: https://github.com/TLINDEN/testgol/tree/wrpixels https://www.tasnimzotder.com/blog/optimizing-game-of-life-algorithm - pre-draw the grid separately to a cache grid image, then during rendering, first draw the dead background, then the life cells, and lastly the grid - if enabled. If disabled, there's be no gap between the cells anymore. - Speed https://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3237 Look at try-pointers-and-cells branch, we're using pre-calculated neighbor list of pointers to cells, but it's only a liiiiitle bit better :( - Patterns: A Catagolue textcensus of, say, period-2 oscillators from non-symmetrical soups can be found at https://catagolue.hatsya.com/textcensus/b3s23/C1/xp2 The URL is made by just adding the prefix "text" to the word "census", in any URL linked to from a Catagolue census page such as this one: https://catagolue.hatsya.com/census/b3s23/C1 Format: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Apgcode Collections: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Pattern_of_the_Year https://www.ibiblio.org/lifepatterns/ https://entropymine.com/jason/life/ https://github.com/Matthias-Merzenich/jslife-moving https://conwaylife.com/ref/mniemiec/lifepage.htm https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Spaceship ff.
