An implementation of Conway's Game of Life for Windows 3.1x and later

For astir six years I wrote Windows programs for a living. Due to the nature of my employment contracts, I can't freely administer astir of what I wrote. However, location were a fewer programs that I worked connected in my spare time. I've made them disposable here, successful the hopes that somebody whitethorn find thing useful successful them.

Life. An implementation of Conway's crippled of Life for Windows 3.1x and later. The programme isn't a very useful implementation, being much too limited. (Much amended programs, and much accusation astir Life, can beryllium found here.) However, the root codification does incorporate immoderate absorbing bits, including mixing 16-bit C codification and 32-bit assembly via winmem32.dll, translating between DIBs pinch different colour organizations, non-trivial management of a mini palette, and inheritance processing and window updating. Though location is nary thief file, I person included a short text file that describes really to usage the program, and really the root codification is organized.

GDI Rescuer. A small programming inferior for Debug Windows 3.1x. (Not useful nether Windows 95 and later versions.) Using the toolhelp.dll and 1 aliases 2 undocumented features, this programme finds GDI objects that were near lying astir by different programs. If it finds immoderate such objects, it displays them successful a list, allowing you to analyse and/or delete them. While location is nary abstracted thief file, it does respond to the thief move utilized connected the bid line.

Code Breaker. A type of Bulls & Cows (more commonly known as Mastermind). This programme started retired arsenic my first superior Windows program, and was the first programme I ever sold. Although I later cleaned it up (and de-Petzoldized it), there's thing particularly interesting successful the root codification (unless you deliberation a complete deficiency of comments is interesting). I've included it present conscionable because I think it's a awesome game. A thief record is included.

All of these programs are free software, arsenic per the GNU General Public License. Complete root codification is of people included pinch each. Share and Enjoy. Contact me if you person immoderate questions aliases comments. (However, please beryllium alert that I have not done immoderate Windows programming since 1997, and americium nary longer able to reply questions connected that taxable beyond the level of WinMain() and WM_PAINT.)
