Source is included, there's still a ton to be done (see the bottom of the webpage for planned features). I haven't been able to test if it'll build on linux, if anyone can do that (or has issues) please let me know.

High Quality Demo/Tutorial Video

Looks really neat man. Why didn't you add "FreeBASIC" to your youtube taglines though? :(

I did to this one. I didn't want to "promote" FB with my crappier videos.

Well, runs super smooth on my new PC. I only don't get the vertical movement of the cells. What does it represent?

Very cool ! I programmed a game of life once but yours is truly neat :)

So you're using the 3rd coordinate as time ? Did you try to use it as a movement direction for the cells ?

I don't know what it would do but hey that's just an idea :p

Once again, very cool game of life's demo :)

Sweet, though I also wonder why you didn't experiment with a 3d game of life where each cell has 26 neighbors. Who knows what you could get then lol. Its very cool as it is though, v. nice work.
