Anfy Life2d 2.1 - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1996/98


This applet can generate and simulate in realtime an Artificial Life,
using Conway algorythm... the result is a sort of unicellular life.
Remember that are needed both life2d.class , Lware.class and anfy.class.
You must upload these 3 .class files and insert the <applet> tag on your
html document to add this applet to your page.
This applet is fully parametrized, so you can change many things to
adapt the effect to your pages and purposes.
Here an example of what you have to write in the html (the things after
the ; are comments with min-max values acceptet):

Here detailed instructions about how to change parameters:


The credits parameter can't be changed otherwise the applet will not work.

To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
In the "regcode" parameter you have to place the registration code you
purchase from the author. If it is correct and the applet is run from the
registered domain name, you can use "reglink" parameter, where you can specify
an URL where bring user when the applet is clicked.
If you set to "YES" regnewframe, you can specify a frame where load the
reglink:

"_blank"  : To load the link in a new blank unnamed browser window.
"_self"   : To load the link into the same window the applet occupies.
"_parent" : To load the link into the immediate FRAMESET parent.
"_top"    : To load the link into the top body of the window.

Otherwise the frame name, for example "myframe1".

The size of the applet is determined by width and height tags.

The res parameter determine the resolution: with res=1 pixels are small,
but effect is slow, with res=8 pixels are too great but effect fast.
I think the best choices are 2-4.

You can change the background and foreground colours for best results over
your web page, the RGB values are same as HTML tags, but in decimal values.

The "ldensity" parameter determine the amount of lifeforms at beginning.
