Nifty Life

Nifty Life is a cellular automata program for running John Conway's Game of Life. Nifty Life is so named because it has a number of nifty features, such as:

• Document-based architecture, allowing you to save and open Life pattern files, and have multiple windows open at once
• Ability to save and open .lif files for cross-platform compatibility
• Adjustable running speed, including unbounded speed when desired
• Adjustable grid dimensions and cell size
• Scrollable windows so that the grid can be larger than your screen's size
• Use of color to indicate cell age
• Wrap around

What is new in this release:

• The toolbar is now fully featured and customizable.
• The life rules are now editable via the document settings panel.
• Added a new application preference called "Auto Stop".
• Improved performance in some cases when cell coloring is turned on.
