This Game Of Life simulation was created by Gary Jenkins and Willie Nelson for CS451 (Programming Paradigms) during the Fall semester of 1998 at the University of New Mexico.

The buttons on the Java applet above do the following:
STEP: Single steps the simulation - this gives total control of how quickly the simulation runs.
RESET: Resets the simulation to a completely lifeless and matterless state.
SUN^: This increases the level of the SUN, which generates matter that can be converted into living beings.
SUN LEVEL: This shows the current level of the SUN value - it is NOT a text input box.
SUNv: This decreases the level of the SUN.
DEATH ON/OFF: This toggles the 'Faces of Death' feature - each dying entity flashes one screen shot in red as its last gasp of life...
