Introduction
Here is another Conway's game of life.
Points of Interest
Please, consider this project as a sample for GDI+.
This project also provides the following techniques:
- Shows a possible MFC way to use a thread to draw the content of the
board. See
DrawThread method in the CLifeWnd class.
- A convenient random class. See
CRandom class.
- A convenient
NONCLIENTMETRICS class wrapper. See
CNonClientMetrics
class.
- A GDI+ version of
Draw3dRect and some variants
- Dialog box(es)' size is recalculated according to the font defined in the
control panel (
DoModal is overloaded in the base classes). See
CBaseDialog and
CResizableBaseDialog classes.
ResizableLib from Paolo Messina has been used to manage the resizing of
dialogs on the fly. Thanks to him for his useful set of classes.
Conclusion
There are maybe bugs around. Just signal them to me. I'll try to handle them.
