Miscellaneous Items



Here are links to some miscellaneous items which I'm not sure where to put.

Cellular Automata Applet

This applet plays a modified version of Conway's Game of Life. It uses triangle cells instead of square cells. Each cell has 12 neighbors. If the cell was previously alive it will continue to be alive if it has 4, 5 or 6 neighbors. If it was "dead" it will come alive again if exactly 4 of its neighbors are alive. This code was submitted to JavaWorld's first CodeMasters Challenge 12/05/1999.

Although ideally an Applet should run in any web browser getting this to work in practice is very difficult. Below are two links one uses the <APPLET> and the other the <OBJECT> (for IE) and <EMBED> tags together. If one does not work try the other one. I find that neither one works if you are behind a firewall.
