Larry, that you added mouse-drawing is awesome, I wanted to do that too. Kyle - my bad on the imports, thanks for the patch.
I will take all these and refold in when I get some time. I also have some ideas on further speed ups. My gut tells me we could make this run faster. One other idea - add a throttle for the "available-procs" value, and a real time "Frames Per Second" display. It would be interesting to figure out on various hardware what is the right setting for available- procs, which currently in this version is really more related to the size and number of the chunks of work as opposed to how many threads actually get deployed behind the scenes by pmap. Note that based on my profiling, if I have 8 CPU's available, and I throw out there 8 chunks of work, pmap is using a pool of 8 or so threads behind the scenes to process the work. Would be good to understand how pmap sizes that executor pool. -Scott On Mar 16, 11:51 am, Larry Sherrill <lps...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Kyle, > > I added life-conway.clj to the files section last week.
