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 Makefile for configuration options (you may want to change PREFIX and/or CFLAGS), then type "make". To install, type "make install".
GtkLife is free and open source, released under the GNU GPL. Suggestions, feature requests and bug reports are welcome at gtklife (at) ironphoenix.org . GtkLife's home site is http://ironphoenix.org/tril/gtklife/ .
