A downloadable project for Windows

I decided to take another look at my old Diatomic Life screensaver, to update it and incorporate a cellular automaton invented by a friend of mine for school. He called it "Stingrays" I always wanted to make a stingrays version of diatomic life, but incorporating the extra states into the motion estimator so that it looks nice took a little more work than expected.

Anyway, here it is. I think you need these things for it to work:

* Windows 95/XP/Me/10/11... (?)

* OpenGL 4.1 capable drivers

* Some video memory

* Probably a GPU will make it run better
