Game of Life in Postscript

Posted by Hemos on from the making-the-life-run-through-toner dept.

smashr writes "It never really occured to me that postscript could be used for something other than printing, until I came across this page. Evidently someone has written the classic 'Game of life' entirely in postscript. You can even send it to the printer and have it output every single iteration.. now that would be a fun prank."

    Yes, it can be found here
