I just wrote a little Game of Life application that can process a 400x400 grid at about 60fps, with C#, no unsafe code, no pointers. How fast can you take it?

Sounds like something interesting that I wouldn't bother doing. Are you multi-threading to separate generation of frames from painting?

[timeshifter]

Nope.

Since the normal procedure for this kind of question is the following...

1. You ask me if I can make your code go faster.
2. I say yes, probably.
3. You whinge at me until I take the code off you and mess with it.
4. I give you the code back.
5. You say "oh I got bored with that, now I'm writing a little app that can [trivial task] in [unsuitable language]"

goto 1.

So in answer to your question... I can make your code go OVER NINE THOUUUUUUSAAAAAANDDDD times faster, but I really don't care enough to bother myself with it.

I'd do that in PHP.

Must we actually output it to the screen? I can do it faster if it just modifies an array that is never displayed.

[timeshifter]

Well, so could I, I'm sure, but how do we know it's actually working?

Well.... *insert hellen keller thing here*
