| This is the entry I made for the speed coding contest. If you liked it you will like my improvements. I have increaced the speed dramaticly and I think I decreaced the file size though i didn't check. I am posting this for critique. If you see anyting that can be improved that would be great. |

| the speed still kinda ruins the experimental part of the game, it takes forever to get to another generation, and the homescreen isn't very good for this kind of simulation since it's only 8x16. |

| I know it's slow, but if anyone has any ideas on how to make the code faster it would be appreciated. I have tried already once, and have made it run faster, but not that much. please look at the code. I am somewhat of a beginer at BASIC and could use some pointers. |

| Try this topic on Conway's Game of Life. There are a lot of good ideas there. |

| guys, what the heck is the point of speed-coding? i mean look at blizzard. They delay thier projects almost every time, but they produce the best games you can imagine. |

| There are many contests that don't have any actual point. But in my opinion, speed-coding is fun. |

Look at the entries. All fine games.
You were saying?

| It's just really fun. I think everyone who participated enjoyed it, and I enjoyed organizing it. |

On the topic of Life again, here's something I wrote to calculate the sum of neighboring grid locations - if you store the grid as a matrix of zeros and ones then this will tell you how many ones are next to a grid location.
Code:
[A]
For(I,1,7
row+(Ans,I+1,I
End
For(I,7,1,-1
row+(Ans,I,I+1
End
(Ans-[A])[sup]T[/sup]->[B]
For(I,1,15
row+(Ans,I+1,I
End
For(I,15,1,-1
row+(Ans,I,I+1
End
(Ans-[B])[sup]T[/sup]
The formula Ans=3 or Ans-[A]=3->[A] will then give you the next generation.
Edit: or it would if you could compare matrices, but unfortunately you can't. The rest works though. *sigh*
