How new cells are born and how old cells die is decided by a simple set of rules, but can lead to complicated behavior by the entire colony. I've always found this simulation to be interesting and I thought coding it in LabVIEW would be a fun exercise. Comments and critiques of either the game or of my coding style are always welcome. The basic rules are simple: 1. A cell that has one or zero neighbors dies of lonliness. 2. A cell that has four or more neighbors dies of overcrowding. 3. An empty cell that has exactly three neighbors containes a new cell in the following generation. A thorough explanation of the Game can be found at http://web.archive.o...7s_game_of_life . Dependancies: This uses the OpenG time, file, and variantconfig libraries. They are not included. Download them via the OpenG Package Manager: http://web.archive.o...p?showtopic=233 Change Log: 1.0.0: Initial release of the code. 1.0.1: Include readme.txt in the zip file. 1.1.0: Added Open and Save As functions (in the menubar). Added an About dialog. Removed the Exit button (redundant to Close). 1.1.1: Forgot to include the .rtm file in the distribution. Rows/columns now update when opening a .gol file.
