I have written a small application with a large amount of comments for Conway's Game of Life. If you don't know what that is, visit here -> http://www.math.com/students/wonders/life/life.html . The source code (everything you need) can be downloaded here -> http://www.sloankelly.net/blitzmax/files/life.zip . Sorry there are no piccys, the math.com site above explains it rather well (The real reason there are no piccys? I can't remember how I got pictures to work on here - 1000 apologies!)
