If a map or file is loaded, the application determines the size of the field from the size of the map. If the parameter width and height are passed with the map or file parameter, they are ignored.

It would be better if the map could take place in the center of the field, where the field size can be defined by the parameters. If the passed size is smaller then the map size, the size of the map is used instead.

Would be fun if gol rules could be passed as arguments in s/b style.

If the active cells are moving over the edges, the area could be auto resized.
Because of the linear field storage model it is a bit complicated to do so. Instead of just adding new arrays you have to reorganize every single cell. This could take longer and longer.

Hi,

Nice project. I was looking at it as an example of multi-core simulations in go.

It seems to me that line 195 in life.go should have cellIndex incremented by MAXWORKERINDEX rather than workerIndex. Otherwise I don't follow your code then.
Care to comment?

Best regards from Montreal,
