Integrating with ConwayLife.com

[CootCraig]

Greetings,

I'm working on a javascript game board as my introduction to Javascript. At some point I plan to publish on heroku to add it to my portfolio. I would like to access the pattern database here , featuring ConwayLife.com. Let me know what forum here to use for discussions.

I'm using the Jquery library and using CSS for grid layout and interaction.

Great site here!

I will be curious to see what kind of generation performance I can get in Javascript compared to the Java code.

Where can I find information on the format for pattern sharing? I am planning on doing a Json package to archive the patterns for my javascript application.

I've found the script page http://www.conwaylife.com/scripts/ and see there are Python coders here.

On the script page I saw this link
http://golly.sourceforge.net/

I am starting to work with Ruby and Javascript/Jquery/CSS. My goal, again is to integrate with ConwayLife.com and with Golly as well if I can.

Just found this post http://www.nathanieljohnston.com/2009/0 ... e-support/

I have got my first game of life steps going in javascript/jquery/css.

It's a fun testbed for me to learn some Javascript. I plan to see if I can add onlne archive support as well.

I would like to throw a very simple build a pattern and run an animation out on the web within a week.
