New rule families • Generations — multi-state rules: Star Wars, Spirals, Bombers. Patterns fire, recharge, and evolve through colours. • SmoothLife — continuous-density fluid automaton: SL Blob, SL Spots, SL Mitosis. Cells blend without discrete on/off states. New topologies • Hex — hexagonal cells with 6 neighbours. Presets: Hex Spots and more. • Triangle — triangular cells with 12 neighbours. Five presets: Tri Life, Tri Maze, Tri Coral, Tri Stars, Tri Spots. Gravity • Cells flow downhill — real falling-sand physics. • Available on all topologies. Configurable gravity/life ratio: from 1:8 (slow trickle) to 8:1 (fast flow). Save & Load • Saved images now embed the rule set and topology — open any Life photo and it restores exactly as you left it. Under the hood • Simulation engine fully rewritten — faster, cleaner, lower memory footprint. • Rendering optimized across all topologies.

Enhanced unsplash photo handling Minor fix

Added support for Unsplash - use image as a playground. Removed grid and noise.

Minor update of internal libs. Back in the store :)

Saving / Restoring of the playground (every playground size now has a separate one item store).

Minor fix for actual SDK.

Fixed for iPhone X and newer

- faster on MAX setting - fixed searching bug - fixed gui non-responsiveness when displaying large scaled area

-fixed side menu offsets on iPad (now usable also in side by side modes) -fixed gallery permission (should not crash when sharing) -fixed scrollbar top alignment

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. :)

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

- 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

- 2 minor gui fixes - crash fix

- 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)

- 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)

Fixed bug - on ios9 the run switch was not working (until minimized and brought back to foreground).
