Copy this if your Mom is in heaven for Christmas. If roses grow in heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Mom's arms and tell Her they're from me. Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while! Merry Christmas Mom, I love you with all my heart and miss you everyday.

Whew! I'm tired and sweaty from all this house cleaning and rigging up my Christmas lights. Still not done. Help!

Yes, I know I'm crazy. I've started the process of Christmas lights decorating. Gonna be a Griswold Christmas this year.

Looking for more information on Color Eater.

@Rybags: Okay, I'll look into something like that, see if I can figure it out. @Larry: Yes, I'm just using A=INT(RND(0)*10) right now. Yard work calls first, then I'll sit down and tinker with it a bit more later. -

Bump. I'm trying to experiment with drawing the screen right now. Using Basic, I've tried a graphics 10 screen and generating random numbers on a graphics 0 screen. I'm sure there is a better way to fill the screen with random numbers and or dots on a screen. Right now I'm just trying for...next loops, plot and position. Any suggestions? Thanks. -

Here is a snip of the article of what the algorithm is suppose to do. "The Color Eater is a very simple animal. It looks at its nearest neighbors in the color matrix, searching in a clockwise direction for its current "digestible" color. If it finds this color, it moves its location to the matrix position of that color, digests it into a new color, and reiterates its search. Occasionally, the Color Eater becomes a very frustrated little animal. It eats itself into a corner and no longer is able to find any digestible colors . . When this catastrophe happens, it throws a fit and turns itself into another variety of Color Eater which can eat itself out of the frustration point. The result is a constantly changing random color pattern on the screen." Hope this helps. -
Hi all! I was browsing through BYTE magazines that ThumpNugget has been scanning in, and saw an article about a simulation called Color Eater on the Apple programmed by Steve Wozniak and Carl Helmers. The article is found in BYTE Vol 02-04 1977-04 Baudot Machines I've done some searches for this algorithm, but come up empty. I think this would be a neat simulation to try on the Atari. I am trying to find the full description of how the rules of the simulation works, etc. So it can be written either in a BASIC, then go further and write it in Assembly as they did in the article. Any takers? Any suggestions to where I can find out more information? Thanks!

Thanks for the images! -
I have had a look in that section, but it seems, there is no picture of the main board. If someone had a broken Lynx II with a non-fried Q7 and could have a look, that would be very helpful. If the schematics from the first lynx and the lynx II are similar, Q7 is a standard NPN transistor 2N3904. After looking at your picture, I would say that Q8 is damaged, which is also a standard NPN transistor 2N3904 according to the schematics for the Lynx I. Hope this helps.
