<h2>Author’s comments:</h2>

|

<h1>Conway’s Game of DEATH</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is a challenging, fast-paced arcade game, based on the famous Game of
|
||||
Life.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Story</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the game, you are Mr.C, a lightweight spaceship making a futile dash for
|
||||
escape from the rigid rules and predictability of life in the B3/S23 universe.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Use the up and down arrow keys to steer: collisions are fatal for Mr.C! Learn
|
||||
to spot incoming gliders, skim the surfaces of beehives and blocks, and give
|
||||
blinkers plenty of space. Things get crazier as Mr.C picks up speed… can he
|
||||
escape?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>No. There is no winning. Sadly for Mr.C, this universe goes on forever. Just
|
||||
see how far you can make it!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Press ‘q’ any time to quit.</p>

<h2>Features</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>casual gameplay</li>
|
||||
<li>infinite, procedurally generated universe</li>
|
||||
<li>progressive difficulty</li>
|
||||
<li>animated splash screens</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Limitations</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Flicker, especially at high speeds, and in spite of “double-buffering” (X11
|
||||
doesn’t make it possible to lock drawing to the display refresh rate.)</li>
|
||||
<li>Cannot be run outside of the directory containing the data files (splash.d,
|
||||
dead.d and sprites.d).</li>
|
||||
<li>Cannot build or run without X11 (or an X11 compatibility layer).</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Wish List</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Score keeping</li>
|
||||
<li>Color</li>
|
||||
<li>In-game instructions</li>
|
||||
<li>Sound</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Hosts Tested</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Darwin 10.8.0 i386 (clang 1.6 and gcc 4.2.1)</li>
|
||||
<li>Linux 2.6.32 i686 (clang 1.1 and gcc 4.4.3)</li>
|
||||
<li>Linux 3.2.0 x86_64 (clang 3.0 and gcc 4.6.3)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Obfuscations</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The code is formatted into a 14-cell shape which will evolve into a glider in
|
||||
19 generations.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Lots of globals, including a global struct whose members have the same names
|
||||
as global variables.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Global variables getting reused in different contexts.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Huge and convoluted expressions, abusing ternary operators and operator
|
||||
precedence.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Lots of magic numbers, abuse of the relationships between magic numbers, and
|
||||
abuse of the arithmetic properties of magic numbers.</p>
