GtkLife is a fast and user-friendly Conway's Life program for Unix. I wanted
to create something comparable to the venerable XLife in speed, but with a
more modern and featureful GUI. I also didn't want to tie it to any particular
desktop environment. Accordingly, GtkLife is based on Gtk+, but does not
require Gnome.

Gtk 1.2.x is required, though I plan to update to Gtk 2 in the future.

To compile, check the top of the Makefile for configuration options (you may
want to change PREFIX and/or CFLAGS), then just type "make". To install, type
"make install". I've only tested this under Linux so far, but it should
compile and run on most modern Unices (with a working Gtk+ installation) with
little difficulty.

GtkLife is free and open source, released under the GNU GPL. Suggestions,
feature requests and bug reports are welcome at tril@igs.net.
