Conway's Game of Life in Minecraft (ComputerCraft)

[runehell]

I live the way that you enterperated (---- fail spell) the game into minecraft... Just awesome

[vidiot]

It took me about 5 hours to make Conway's Game of Life that would run on the first detected monitor, could run on any sized monitor, an in game option to enable/disable wrapping (the left/top pixels would be affected by the right/bottom and vice versa), a throttle to change the refresh rate, and you could create your own game

[NumJungle]

If you wanted it to work for different monitor sizes, you could try messing with the "w" and "h" variables at the top of the program until you get the right size. :)

And yes, every cell has a 10% chance of being alive at the start

[vidiot]

If you didnt realize by now, basically the code (for whatever reason) at the time had an error, on line 42, the ')' was missing

[NumJungle]

Thank you! And programming will be my profession, but for now I just do it for fun

Wasn't sure what I was going into here but this is amazing, blew my mind that you have life running in minecraft who would have ever thought. I've seen the star wars movie before but this is also impressive. Great job, are you a hobby programmer or is that you profession?

[NumJungle]

Sure, I will post a video on a couple of those programs later today!

[vidiot]

It also detected monitor resizing (and adjust to the new size) and monitor detachment (and would end if this occurred)

I wonder how come nobody attempted to code a version of Dwarf Fortress for ComputerCraft yet.

[NumJungle]

o__o That's weird, I would try downloading again. But maybe it's because you're not using advanced monitors? I doubt that's it though

[rerere]

You should make it able to run on all monitor sizes :o
Also, are the starting points randomly generated?

when i clicked this video I was expecting Hasbro's game of life. after reading that wiki link i am disappoint.

[dooftimolp]

can you please post the code for the display at the beginning ?
because it just looks cool

[NumJungle]

Hey man, I haven't had time to improve the code and make a video for it, but I will private message you the current code (very poorly written and meant for exactly 8x5 advanced monitor)

[NumJungle]

This would explain it:

[littleman]

It keeps saying (bios:338: [string "life"] :42: ')' expected) what do I do to fix this?
