Did you add it to the KP ladder?

Make a life-like variant of colour wars. r pentomino would probably be OP but that wouldn't matter.

[zwzsg]

I'd like to, but Color Wars is quite GPU intensive as it is. Currently I can use DrawList because old blocks remain as they are, but if it was the game of life, I'd have to redraw everything every iteration.

Also, the game of life is quite chaotic, and I wanted Color Wars to award victory to whoever owns the most territory. Not to mention Life with random starting distribution isn't that interesting, ends up with scattered points and a few flickers, so I'd have to explore alternate rules. Beside as far as I know the rules of life don't apply for multiplayer.

Kernel Panic as a screensaver! \o/

[zwzsg]

I had actually started looking into how to turn my external launcher into windows screensaver format, and into gadgetifying the action finder gadget, so as to make a Kernel Panic screensaver. Then I realised a screensaver that takes half a minute to load, doesn't close instantly, and has a non-negligible probability to crash your system, wouldn't be a good screensaver.
