[Vm-dev] Tangential: A Lisp Interpreter Implemented in Conway's Game of Life

Hi Yoshiki --

Probably due to that FPS lock in Morphic. Try enabling the preference "higher performance". I get about 100 fps for 1600x1600 on my Surface Pro 8 (11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz, 2995 MHz)

Best,
Marcel

Amazingly, the LifeMorph does load into Squeak 6:

I think I once made a Morph called LifeMorph, that used the BitBlt magic Tim mentioned. That was pretty fast 20 years ago.

I can't say I have the code handy, but I do find it mentioned here for example.

Very cool. I would not volunteer to refactor that :-D

It's tricky to get high performance GameOfLife in Squeak.
Here is a morph I worked on. I use an array as data structure.
Each cell is an integer.
Neighbouring cells alive are 0 to 8 and alive cell are 10 + neighbours.

It gets a decent framerate.

Best,
Karl

A fabulous example of Turing completeness and by far the most sophisticated Life system I’ve seen.
