Thanks, Jeremy!
Yesterday I thought to start writing something like this.
Yes, it works good on Linux, but I have a proposal. As this app doesn't
change it's layout or behavior on window resize, and have fixed width
and height, could you add ":resizable => false" option to Shoes.app
[options] do block? Without this, window will fill all frame in tiling
window managers, like ion3, wmii, xmonad etc.
Thanks again.

To play with it, click and drag across the screen to make critters.
Click individual critters to make them disappear. Use the slider at the
bottom to speed up and slow down the generations. If you slow down
enough, the critters will pause, so that you can edit them to your
liking.
"Clear" and "Seed with Critters" do what you'd expect.
Three avenues of inquiry:
I'm having a bit of trouble with consistency between Shoes Curious
on Mac and Windows. It works great on Leopard. But on Windows XP
the main flow doesn't seem to draw anything. Does Shoes on Windows
not clear individual stacks and flows yet?
Does this work on Linux at all?
Maybe we could get a slider control in Shoes itself, patterned after the
one towards the bottom of the file. It returns a float between 0 and 1.
Okay,
