1.3.4
2017-09-26
App is still FREE and without Ads.
- iOS11 bugfix. To my surprise the app 1.3.3 stopped working with the update to iOS11. Imagine you have playground, you compute several iterations, but after 7 - 15 iterations you randomly get playground from iteration 1 as a result. WTF? Anyway, I used another method to push pixels around, so the problem is hopefully fixed for now. And maybe a bit faster, too.
- I created FB support page, mostly for reporting bugs, brilliant suggestions, etc. :)
1.3.3
2017-09-05
Update: unusable in iOS 11 (will be fixed soon, please be patient)
APP is FREE for now and without ads! (please read the changelog for 1.3.2)
- fixed sharing to Facebook (gui remained blocked by info message after successful share - late night build, sorry :))
- fixed scrollbar bug
- fixed playground glitch on specific zoom range
1.3.2
2017-09-01
- no ads (app will be completely free for the rest of the year, thank you for your support!)
- sky color palette
- you can share playground image to FB and Twitter (** introduced bug - blocked gui after sucessful share - will be fixed soon in 1.3.3, sorry, I noticed too late)
- you can save playground image to gallery
- tile coords in large zoom are now at all tiles
- in the first run the default mode is set to Spots and color palette to Fire
1.3.1
2017-04-25
- 2 minor gui fixes
- crash fix
1.3
2017-04-19
- fixed screen refresh bug when drawing at particular zoom level
- pattern list has a new scrollbar
- modified helper lines at large zoom
- rule name (eg. 123/23) is now sorted and moved under the rule buttons
- green pallete is now replaced by Lava! (red to yellow tones)
1.2
2017-04-12
- complete redesign
- pattern browser (more than 1k patterns)
- search patterns by name, author and description (eg. all oscillators)
- gpu accelerated algorithm (max playground size is 2048x2048, yo!)
- preset rules with a custom one
- aging mode - modification of alg, when the cells can die by age, and their remains blocks the other cells for some time
- AirPlay, AV cable (adapter) - watch cells growing on TV (try it in a math class :))
- Google Cast (partial support for now, it just sends the main screen as it is to AndroidTV, tested on Sony Bravia)
- playground generation - geometry, noise, even some fractals (guess what will happen, when you take Mandelbrot's fractal as a basis for Conway's life - the color represents age of the cell)
- share the app and get some time without ads (and/or support development by buying it, please)
- simple drawing / erasing on the playground
- color palettes, panning, zooming, ...
- I like the Spots rule set with fire color palette, looks like flames :)
- I hope you enjoy this app. It doesn't do anything much useful, but it looks nice (and I really enjoyed coding it)
- and yes, it will still make your phone warm (you can try how long will the battery hold when computing and transmitting via AirPlay)
