- Anfy Life2d - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1996-99
-
-
- This applet can generate and simulate in realtime a popular Artificial Life,
- Conway algorythm. The result is a sort of unicellular life. This applet
- is fully parametrized, so you can change many things to adapt the
- effect to your pages and purposes.
-
- ************************************************************************
-
- NECESSARY FILES.
-
- Apart from an optional overlay image, the following 3 ".class" files
- must be uploaded:
-
- life2d.class
- Lware.class
- anfy.class
-
- Plus, life2d.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.
-
- ************************************************************************
-
- EXAMPLE.
-
- Insert the <applet> tag in your html document as follows to add this applet
- to your page (Comments after the ";" symbol are code explanations and
- acceptable min/max values. They are not part of the applet language):
-
-
- <applet archive="life2d.jar" code="life2d.class" width="200" height="180">
- <param name="credits" value="Applet by Fabio Ciucci (www.anfyteam.com)">
- <param name="regcode" value="NO"> ; Registration code (if you have it)
- <param name="reglink" value="NO"> ; Optional URL link when the applet
- is "clicked".
- <param name="regnewframe" value="YES"> ; Reglink opened in new frame?

- INSTRUCTIONS.
-
- The following instructions describe how to change parameters:
-
- Attempting to change the credits parameter will disable the applet.
-
- To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
- In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you purchased
- from the author. If the code is correct and the applet is run from
- the registered domain name, you can use "link" parameters to link to a URL
- when the applet is "clicked".
-
- If you set "regnewframe" to "YES", you can specify a specific frame location
- for the reglink:
-
- "_blank" : To load the link in a new blank unnamed browser window.
- "_self" : To load the link into the same window the applet occupies.
- "_parent" : To load the link into the immediate FRAMESET parent.
- "_top" : To load the link into the top body of the window.
-
- You can also set a custom frame name, such as "myframe1".
-
- With the "overimg" parameter you can specify the name of an image that will
- be painted over the applet. The best options are transparent GIF images.
-
- NOTE: Animated GIF images are supported, but will be displayed as animated
- only on latest browsers (Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 or newer).
- With "overimgX" and "overimgY" you can center the image over the applet area.
-
- The size of the applet is determined by width and height tags.
-
- The "res" parameter determines the resolution: with res=1 pixels are small,
- but the effect is slow. With res=8 the pixels are too large but effect fast.
- The optimum choices are 2-4.
-
- You can change the background and foreground colour for best results on
- your web page. The RGB values are the same as HTML tags, but in decimal
- values.
-
- The "ldensity" parameter determines the amount of lifeforms at beginning.
