My brother tried it, and made a suggestion: it should have a counter that shows the number of gernerations that have passed. --[[User:Mr. Reaper|Mr. Reaper]] 22:54, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

: Good idea. I'll keep a note of that for the next release. -- [[User:MetaFight|MetaFight]] 23:06, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

I like the ability to shift around the grid with the d-pad. The other additions seem to be working well too.
I think would prefer the functions that are assigned to the 1 and 2 buttons to be moved up to the d-pad though, like B + Right is increase Tempo, and B + Left is decrease. B + Up/Down could cycle through the game of life modes. It just kind of makes it easier to have all the controls around the same area, and the 1 & 2 buttons don't really need to be used yet, until you need some controls for Saving & Loading....
This would also greatly benefit from some on-screen information display. Just some visual indicators, like having the big frame around the grid turn green when you are in the Life mode, and grey when in regular mode. Some kind of little graphic to indicate which Life mode you are in, or what "speed" (tempo) you are at would be nice too.
If there is room, some little graphic or text showing what buttons do what functions would be helpful on screen rather than in the pop-up menu (similar to the old version). When the user presses the B button, the information could change on the screen to show the new functions of the B-shifted buttons....
A suggestion: If you are in the Life mode, and you press the button to go to a Previous/Next Generation, it should automatically switch you back to Standard mode and do that. --[[User:Mr. Reaper|Mr. Reaper]] 00:10, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
