Game (Boy) of Life

Una versione per Game Boy dell'automa cellulare di John Conway, il Gioco della vita, di StudioGuma (2024). Ogni cellula vive o muore in base alle vicine: disegna una configurazione iniziale sulla griglia, avviala e guardala evolvere.

Comandi

Touch: croce direzionale a sinistra, A e B a destra (puoi far scivolare il pollice dall'uno all'altro), SELECT in basso a sinistra, START in basso a destra. Più dita insieme funzionano.
Gamepad USB o Bluetooth: croce o levetta sinistra; A e Y = A; B e X = B; Start; Back/View = Select.
Tastiera USB: frecce o WASD; Spazio/X/Invio = A; Z/C/Backspace = B; P o Tab = Start; Esc = Select.
MENU (in alto a sinistra), i dorsali L/R o il tasto Guide del gamepad mettono in pausa.

Il menu di pausa

Continua, Ricomincia (spegne e riaccende la console), Zoom 4x o 3x (più piccolo, lascia più spazio ai comandi), Colori (verde, grigio, Pocket, colori stile Game Boy Color) e Esci chiude il gioco. Zoom e colori restano memorizzati. Il gesto indietro del sistema apre il menu; ripetuto, esce.

Audio

Il suono è emulato (i quattro canali del Game Boy). Se un'altra app sta usando l'altoparlante (per esempio Musica), il gioco parte muto e riprova ogni pochi secondi.

Game (Boy) of Life

A Game Boy port of John Conway's cellular automaton, the Game of Life, by StudioGuma (2024). Every cell lives or dies according to its neighbours: draw a starting pattern on the grid, run it and watch it evolve.

Controls

Touch: D-pad on the left, A and B on the right (you can slide your thumb from one to the other), SELECT bottom left, START bottom right. Several fingers at once work.
USB or Bluetooth gamepad: D-pad or left stick; A and Y = A; B and X = B; Start; Back/View = Select.
USB keyboard: arrows or WASD; Space/X/Enter = A; Z/C/Backspace = B; P or Tab = Start; Esc = Select.
MENU (top left), the L/R shoulder buttons or the pad's Guide button pause the game.

The pause menu

Resume, Reset (power-cycles the console), Zoom 4x or 3x (smaller, more room for the controls), Colours (green, grey, Pocket, Game Boy Color style) and Exit closes the game. Zoom and colours are remembered. The system back gesture opens the menu; twice, it exits.

Sound

Sound is emulated (the Game Boy's four channels). If another app holds the speaker (the Music app, say), the game starts muted and retries every few seconds.
