" Macros to play Conway's Game of Life in vi
" Version 1.0m: edges wrap
" by Eli-the-Bearded Benjamin Elijah Griffin <vim@eli.users.panix.com>
" Sept 1996
" This file may be free distributed so long as these credits remain unchanged.
"
" Modified by Bram Moolenaar (Bram@vim.org), 1996 Sept 10
" - Made it quite a bit faster, but now needs search patterns in the text
" - Changed the order of mappings to top-down.
" - Made "g" run the whole thing, "C" run one generation.
" - Added support for any uppercase character instead of 'X'
"
" Rules:
" If a germ has 0 or 1 live neighbors it dies of loneliness
" If a germ has 2 or 3 live neighbors it survives
" If a germ has 4 to 8 live neighbors it dies of starvation
" If an empty box has 3 live neighbors a new germ is born
"
" A new born germ is an "A". Every generation it gets older: B, C, etc.
" A germ dies of old age when it reaches "Z".
"
" Notice the rules do not mention edges. This version has the edges wrap
" around. I have an earlier version that offers the option of live edges or
" dead edges. Email me if you are interested. -Eli-
"
" Note: This is slow! One generation may take up to ten minutes (depends on
" your computer and the vi version).
"
" Quite a lot of the messy stuff is to work around the vi error "Can't yank
" inside global/macro". Still doesn't work for all versions of vi.
"
" To use these macros:
"
" vi start vi/vim
"
" :so life.mac Source this file
"
" g 'g'o! runs everything until interrupted: "IR".
"
" I Initialize everything. A board will be drawn at the end
" of the current buffer. All line references in these macros
" are relative to the end of the file and playing the game
" can be done safely with any file as the current buffer.
"
" Change the left field with spaces and uppercase letters to suit
" your taste.
"
" C 'C'ompute one generation.
" + idem, time running one generation.
" R 'R'un 'C'ompute until interrupted.
" i<nr><Esc>z Make a number the only thing on the current line and use
" 'z' to time that many generations.
"
" Time to run 30 generations on my 233 AMD K6 (FreeBSD 3.0):
" vim 5.4 xterm 51 sec
" gvim 5.4 Athena 42 sec
" gvim 5.4 Motif 42 sec
" gvim 5.4 GTK 50 sec
" nvi 1.79 xterm 58 sec
" vi 3.7 xterm 2 min 30 sec
" Elvis 2.1 xterm 7 min 50 sec
" Elvis 2.1 X11 6 min 31 sec
"
" Time to run 30 generations on my 850 AMD Duron (FreeBSD 4.2):
" vim 5.8 xterm 21 sec
" vim 6.0 xterm 24 sec
" vim 6.0 Motif 32 sec
" nvi 1.79 xterm 29 sec
" vi 3.7 xterm 32 sec
" elvis 2.1.4 xterm 34 sec
"
" And now the macros, more or less in top-down order.
