Conway's Game Of Life

[richard]

Very nice Richard. What LED's are those?

i'm not absolutely sure , sheldon (longpole) provided me with them in exchange for code to drive them
they are twocolour p10 modules 16x32

Did my thread resurrection encourage you.. LOL

in deed , when i discovered the crc idea for stagnation i had to try it out

Can we have a look at your 2048 led code? In particular the word seeds....

i got that wrong its 16x64 ie 1024 leds , it was 32x32 and i got a bit crossed up.
32x32 was no good for displaying the text seeds

the display buffers use 1 bit per led per colour the nextgen buffer is byte size per pixel to make calcs easier

since sheldon "comissioned" the base pbp code i will leave it to him to release it into the wild

the display in the video is done in C my preferred language
i can post it if its useful to anyone\
ps
the modules are quite tricky to drive and use a fair bit processor time constantly to maintain the pov illusion that looks like a display
using 1 colour i got 15.6 fps, 2 not so good so far.
i have not finished measuring or optimising it yet
