Using the suggestions from the replies, here is the latest version:

3 patterns from the Life wiki have been added

And...I added a line drawing option, but due to my low skill level it's kind of a problem.   I tried using 'right click' to exit but I don't fully understand how to apply or capture a right mouse click to get out of a loop.   So i changed it to use the ENTER key.   Anyway I'd like to know how to just use the mouse and right click, if anyone can suggest a solution.   Cheers.

Here is a quick demo for right mouse click:

Code: (Select All)

Do
    Cls
    While _MouseInput: Wend ' poll mouse get all updated except wheel from tiny loop
    If _MouseButton(2) Then ' right clicked may want _delay or wait for mouse button release
        Exit Do
    Else
        Cls
        Print "Screen 0 mouse at:"; _MouseX; ","; _MouseY
    End If
    _Limit 60 ' keeps CPU cool
    _Display ' stops flicher from cls
Loop
Print "Good bye!"

_MouseButton(2) just tells us that the Right mouse button is down when the poll took place.

PS Mouse coordinates in Screen 0 are in Char Cells same as use for Locate and Print. In graphics screen mouse coordinates are in pixels.
