Crepuscular Life for TouchShield: Game of Life Sim

Crepuscular Life is an interactive Conway's Life simulator for the Diecimila + TouchShield:

It runs at full resolution (128x128) at about 4-5 fps.

Interactive controls:

  • Tapping once on the screen will spawn a glider at the tap location.
  • Double-tapping will spawn 10 gliders at random locations.
  • Triple-tapping will clear the screen.
