Homebrew - The Game Of Life RC2 - Image 1 


PSP homebrew developer maxthebest has released a new version of The Game of Life, for those who like math, biology, chemistry and sociology, or for those who just like playing with squares. This version has new themes, new patterns, and improved menu navigation. Here's the changelog from the dev:
  • Added a couple of themes: by pressing Triangle, you can switch from one theme to the other. There are 3 themes for the moment, you can change them by editging the images in the game directory (each cell is 8*8).
  • Added 4 brand new patterns: "The Queen Bee Shuttle", "The Pentadecathlon", "The Pulsar", and the "Diehard", which is special because it entirely?ies after exactly 130 generations (you can check the generations by pressing L).
  • When you press select, the menu pops up, and you can release the select button, which you couldn't before. It might help you navigate through the menu. To make the menu disapear, just press Circle or select an option.
For those who aren't familiar with the game of life, I suggest reading up on its Wiki page. Very interesting stuff, especially for geeks like me.
