need algorithm for game of life

Please, can anybody tell me were I can find the algorithm for the game of life in C.
thankz

It's called a search engine - it's name is www.google.com
If you can't master this, give up programming now

thanks salem! great tip!
you must feel so great for that witty remark...
next time if you dont have anything usefull to say, just dont say it....

He's right, Mr. Important UNREGISTERED.
Get up off your ass and find something yourself.

- edit -
BTW, I don't feel great making replies like these.
I'm sure Salem doesn't either.
Why?
Because we had to tell you something that's VERY obvious.

'Data Structures & Program Design in C' 2nd Edition by Kruse Tondo and Leung. Uses the Game of Life as a running example.

PS - The idea of this board is to help one another. If you two guys don't want to do that, don't waste your time posting.

Good luck with the Game of Life 'Unregistered'.

>The idea of this board is to help one another.
Agreed. Salem was helping the OP to help himself.

If you ask a stupid question you get a stupid answer, perhaps you should do some research before running to us with your tail between your legs. The information you want is very easily found and Salem's response was perfectly valid, if you don't like it then go to a forum where the members concentrate more on making you feel good than helping you out.

My God! Salem probably does more than anyone else here to keep these boards alive and (fairly) productive. And maybe you should take your own ridiculous advice, steven. That's really helpful, telling 'unregistered' to go buy an expensive book, for the 'running example.' If someone needed help implementing a differentiating algorithm, for example (logical flaw,etc), would you just tell him/her to go buy the complete Art of Programming? Sweet Jesus.
BTW, who the **** are you to talk about the "idea of the board", steven? There is a rather large difference between 2574 and 5, buddy.

I stand corrected. Apologies.

I've heard of that game before.

too lazy to write out entire thing so here's a prototype:

// in C
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>
//include extra files here ( possibly like a map file? )

struct player
{
// add stuff here
};

int main(void)
{
// determine how many players
// set an array based from previous statement
// initialize required variables ( example: int variable for die and the arrays for cards and other stuff )
// insert loop here (possibly a do...while(arguement(s)) or while(arguement(s)) )
// inside loop: do the stuff here like make random number and other stuff ( just read the set of instructions that is included from the MB game )
return 0;
}

// good luck

oh yeah, be sure not to violate any copyright laws from the game.
