Developer domis4 released a Lua port of Conway’s Game of Life for the PS Vita. This homebrew runs through Rinnegatamante’s lua player plus for PS Vita. In the author’s words:

What is PSVITA Game of Life?

PSVITA Game of Life is an simple implementation of Conway’s Game of Life for the PS Vita written in Lua. Thanks to Rinnegatamante’s lpp-vita Lua interpreter it was fairly easy to implement. Back in the day i installed my first PSP CFW (as a child), PSPLife was one of the first Homebrews i installed and i had some fun times playing around. Now i want to add my first contribution to the PS Vita Homebrew Scene. The Homebrew is my first Lua application and my first PS Vita application.

Features

• Random grid generator
• Empty grid generator
• Cursor to switch cell states
• Autoplay
• FPS Limiter

Thanks to

• – Team Molecule for Henkaku
• – TheOfficialFlow for VitaShell
• – Rinnegatamante for lpp-vita
