WiiLife is an implementation of Conway’s Game of Life for Wii. It lets you watch a random population of cells evolve and die. You can zoom in for a better look and scroll around. If you get bored, you can create an new random population.

Due to its early stage, the program may crash once in a while.

JJIL is a Java image processing library. It includes an image processing architecture and over 60 routines for various image processing tasks.

JJIL is particularly targeted towards mobile applications. It includes interfaces so images can be converted to and from native formats for J2ME, Android, and J2SE.

JJIL includes some sample applications for face detection and EAN-13 (including UPC) barcode reading. The barcode reader requires high resolution images (currently beyond a typical cameraphone, but perhaps not Android) but the face detection code works well with any cameraphone. It can isolate any reasonable frontal view of a face in a few seconds.

Release notes:

Update, 7-18-08: I build and uploaded a new ReadBarJ JAR file. This fixes a bug that was making the reader fail when the barcode image width was an exact multiple of the number of elementary bars. Probably didn’t affect the J2ME reader much, but still… Code fix was due to hansomli and has been checked into source tree.

This application allows you to read large Text (.txt,.text), eReader/Peanut Press (.pdb), Rich Text Format (.rtf), Palm Doc (.pdb), Mobipocket (.pdb,.prc,.mobi), Plucker (.pdb), HTML (.htm,.html), CHM (.chm), and Fiction Book (.fb2) files quickly and efficiently on the iPhone/Touch. This application doesn’t have the fancy formatting of ruBooks or Books.app, but it supports many formats and can quickly load and display large text files that currently cause problems with some UI Text View/Web View based apps. It also gives you some options to reformat/reflow text so that it might be more readable on the iPhone’s smaller screen. If you want to load books quickly and read text, this may be the app for you.
