Mr Hopkins you are by far one of my favorite posters on this website and these sort of comments are golden.
On occasion they get appropriate engagement but sometimes there are no replies.
You should know that it does not go unnoticed. The breadcrumbs you leave will be followed by youngsters far into the future, a worthwhile endeavor.
Thank you for brightening my sunday and everything you’ve done and your efforts at documenting and preservation.
While HN is not what it used to be I consider you royalty and old school users like yourself are the reason many of us still frequent this place.
You are appreciated sir. Cheers.
- DonHopkins 2y agoThank you! It feels great to have finally gotten the code working well enough that other people can use it, and to hear your kind feedback! It makes it all worthwhile. I've gotten so much pleasure just staring at the cellular automata for hours on end that I wanted to make that work and share it, even if you can't play the game yet. It will be even more fun once I get the city editing tools and disasters menu working, so you can bulldoze and draw roads and buildings and release monsters to stomp around and cause other disasters in the cellular automata! They're also useful for building and destroying cities, too, but painting in the live cellular automata is even more fun. Here's an old blurry video of that on the X11 version: Cellular SimCity: Cellular Automata in SimCityNet on Unix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8KJ--drZO8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8KJ--drZO8
