Diatomic Life SR
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
