So there was a pretty terrible memory leak in the game of life program. I just wasn't freeing a pointer after using it, and this pointer was leaking with every frame, so yeah, it was bad. I fixed that though, and updated the download link to have the fixed program.

I also figured out how to get the color of a pixel, which lets me do what I want to do with the drug war game. That also led to me thinking about the board game risk, which is something that I've always wanted to make. I wasn't sure how it would be possible to let the computer know where one territory ends and the next begins, but I think I might know how to do that now. There are probably a lot of better ways, but I think that what I have in my head would work. So Risk is going to be next.
