They may not be all correct (I assume you mean Conway's game of life?): 1) A filled cell next to 2 or 3 cells lives 2) An empty cell next to 3 (I'm not sure whether it's 2 or 3 here also) is born 3) A filled cell next to one or less filled cells dies of isolation, while one next to four or more filled cells dies from overcrowding [1 and 2 refer to 2 and/or 3 filled cells.] ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
