Re: pls help. Xlife updated...

[Peter De Wachter <pdewacht@gmail.com>]

Well, the Debian xlife package was removed a few years ago in favor of
golly (http://golly.sourceforge.net/). Major advantages of Golly are the
modern UI and the stupendously fast HashLife algorithm.

If you want to re-introduce and maintain xlife in Debian, that's
certainly possible. Take a look here:

You'll probably find a sponsor in the Games team.

There's an xlife 3.6 here:
http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/achim/xlife-3.6.tar.gz
And you can find OpenBSD xlife 5.3p3 here:
http://openports.se/games/xlife
It looks like patch level 3 only changed some build flags.
