This is an optimized
and changed version of Lifun.

This release is for anyone
who liked -misc/sci/Lifun
but thought it was slow.

after uploading it
I will delete it from my HD
because if I wanna continue the consept,
I will do it from scratch,
as the included BB2 source
is not very well designed.


changes since v1.0:
-------------------

Its ages since I modified Lifun,
but I'll try to remember...


+both ants and fleas are processed
 faster when they are many.
 Im not sure exactly how much faster,
 anything in 2-6x.

-I decided to remove lasers,
 because lasers are not that fun...

+...instead, the laser color register
 is used for an other effect,
 currently for nothing special,
 just a kind of forest/wegetation.

+you can move all your white ants
 with arrow keys.

+probably more.

Description
-----------

-not a game.
-bad graphics.
-not any music.
-lame sounds.
-basic code.
-badly drawn iff maps by me.

is there any way this program
is good you ask? ;)

yes, if you:

*are interested in ants.
*find hopping flees, intriging.
*like simulators of any kind.
*enjoy to see a little pixel move about
 in a stupid and senseless pattern,
 through minefields, unluckily avoiding
 food, while watching his fellowers drown beside him,
 only to be killed by an enemy laser on
 the far side of the map. :)  (I do!)


docs inside.


----------------------------------
note that there may be typos
or false information in the doc.

some maps are also outdated, but works.

all this is because the development has
gone slowly forward the last 6 years. ;)
