Hi

xlockmore-5.27ALPHA02 as of 1 September 2008, the maintained version of xlock

5.27ALPHA02
  PAM_putText() would set pointer resp->resp to buffer.  This will work
    until memory is reused.  Thanks to Howard Kash <hmkash AT arl.army.mil>.
  ico updated to show the two edge transitive Catalan solids, i.e. the
    rhombic dodecahedron and the rhombic triacontahedron.
  Added __linux__ to define list to allow newer sig masking to get rid of
    pesky deprecated message.
  Fixed a goof in solitare.cc.
  configure checks for libXdpms
    libXext has the DPMS functionality on both XFree86 4 and X.org.
    (libXdpms may be Xfree86 3.x). Added /usr/pkg/lib and /usr/pkg/include to
    long list of paths it checks in.
  life added more life forms trianglular life from Bays' paper and added
    S245B3 with glider (-neighbors 8) from Bays' paper.  Found some
    patterns in S245B3 for the glider to crash into.
+ life3d -rule S45/B4 -neighbors 18 and -rule S45/B4 -neighbors 20 from
+   Bays' paper.  Found some patterns for the gliders to crash into.
+ life3d -rule S3/B3 -neighbors 12 and -rule S456/B3 -neighbors 12.  Added
+   a bunch of patterns from Bays' paper but not all.
+   [Todo draw a rhombic dodecahedron instead of a cube for the cell.]
+ life3d -search added.  Need to add more symmetries for 3D.
 + updated

Hi

I wanted to do this update for years... I always thought it was too hard.
Its not hard though once you do it.  :)  life3d now with rhombic dodecahedrons.
I liked it so much I had to do it for ant3d also.  (Some of the
transpositions for ant3d may not be 100% I need to check it...),  it looks
smooth though.

+   there are still more but some are hard to visualize.]
* ant3d -neighbors 12 (3d bees). [Not sure if I got all the math right on
*   this, still checking.  Add eyes option to this.]
 + updated
 * new
