Any ticker message like golly ticker

Post by potsbo » April 25th, 2015, 3:17 pm

This is my first post on this forum and I hope here is the right place to post things like this.

I have written a program which enables you to make a ticker message, just like golly ticker, with any string.
Here is the code https://github.com/potsbo/any-ticker

I am a beginner both of Game of Life and programming. So the code is far from readable and written with lots of awkward expressions. But I believe this program could be nice for some people.
I have been developing alone, but now I want some help or opinion.
I will really appreciate any suggestion or comment on this.
I hope someone enjoy with this program.
Thank you

Hi, there has been already a Golly script that does it.

Welcome to the community!

EDIT: There is another thread about the same topic: viewtopic.php?t=1601

Hi potsbo and welcome,

As codeholic mentioned out we have golly script for this already, but I'm trying to figure out what parts of your code are actually doing the job, so they might be useful for other search/design utilities? Can you say few words about the structure of your code? Do you have some GOL Iterator? How do you combine the results (and where)?
