Interesting. I never get this issue, but I'll look into it.

I have the same fatal error all the time...

Can you give me a description of the error? I'm not getting the issue.

I'm trying to play this game, but every time I load it, it says there's a fatal error in something in your code.

Ah... I remember doing this as a lil project i had to do for class in GM8... everyone else did it in Java...

This game is awesome and classic.

It appears that the Updating Bug was somewhat fixed. It's at least a different time now. The notice will be removed from the OP.

Also, I've updated the game again! The features are listed in the OP. More details on how to use them are in the game. Remember to check out the Help Menu!

Yeah, that's what I thought. The GM:S player made me download it again and I did end up with a version with save states, so the updating may be working, but who knows. Publishing and updating my projects on Workshop has been a bit flaky for me as well.

Download the Windows Installer and compare.

The initial version didn't have Save States. That's the main difference. The update coming this weekend will also have some new, notable features.

How would one know what revision one had? This seems to have been updated from the version I initially tried a few days ago.

Notice: Due to a bug with either Game Maker or Valve, all of the time stamps are the same on this game. That means that for some weird reason, people who subscribe will get Revision 1 of the game, and not Revision 4.

There's no work around for this, other than creating an entirely new project, which I'm not going to do. Until further notice (I'll add details to the description), use the Windows Installer version. I keep that up to date, as it's a link from my personal Dropbox.

Pretty good implementation of Life. I like the color rules, I don't think I've seen those before.

Thanks! I will definitely add larger grid features.

I went over the details today, and I already know how I want to implement it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Nicely done. I think you should make the grid over which you compute considerably larger than the visual part (or better, make it infinite). It would be nice to have some famous configurations build it.

The game already does this. A true "Generation 0" would be a blank slate. However, I understand what you're trying to say, you want to be able to go back to how the grid looked before you hit the Play button.

To remedy this, you can either utilize the Save/Load feature already implemented, or use the newly added "Save States" feature. There's now 10 default Save States which you can overwrite. For more information on this, there's added information in the Help Menu. You'll have to scroll down to see it.

What about reverting to gen 0?
