- The good news is, my Xlife (which will be released as Xlife 4.0) now has
- multi-state support. You can run any cellular automaton with up to
- 8 states and the Von Neumann 4-cell neighborhood, using a transition table
- specified by an editable file. I have reorganized the internals in such
- a way that adding code to handle more general case should be easy.
-
- The bad news is, I never did figure out the reason for the XFillRectangles()
- screwage in my 2.0bis code --- the problem simply went away when I merged my
- changes into 3.0. Spooky.
