Description

The name of the game follows from life's natural complementarity with death. No, it doesn't mean anything morose -- not unless you consider cellular automata morose -- in that case, you are a strange person. #### By the way, I tried to structure the code clearly and concisely for anyone who's interested. #### #### Rules #### CLICK, HOLD, MOVE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON TO SEED CELLS # (LEFT/RIGHT) decrease/increase update speed (default: max) # (DOWN/UP) decrease/increase alpha channel (transparency) # (C) clear the ashes of cells that have died # (R) toggle random colors # (H) for help # (Q) to quit #### To Run the Game #### Linux: $python life.py # Windows: err... ummm... click on it!

Replacing the product with ((x,y) for x in range(-1, 2) for y in range(-1,2)) works.

Yes, Python 2.6 is needed. Perhaps later tonight I'll include a 2.5 version that uses a regular list comprehension rather than itertool's cartesian product.

Look like python 2.6 needed cause you use "itertools.product".
