clojure : game-of-life repair project.

[jay vas]

Hi guys :

We over at the RudolF world have been working on fixing and commenting a version of conways game of life, in clojure :

https://github.com/sebastianbenz/clojure-game-of-life

Its here :

https://github.com/jayunit100/clojure-game-of-life

To run it, you can clone the project and simply type

lein repl> (run-game "???" "???" ) 

In particular, I'm not sure what this method does - or how to comment/doc it . Any thoughts ?
This is a pedagogical exersize, so feel free to ramble on if something interesting comes up.

(defn run-game ([engine seed] (run-game engine seed {:columns 50 :rows 50 :speed 500 :cellsize 10})) ([engine seed options] (let [panel (field-panel engine seed options) frame (field-frame panel) timer (Timer. (options :speed) panel)] (.start timer))))

Any hints or contributors ?

PS @Seancorfield - I added you as a colloborator on the github fork already in case your interested.

UPDATE : Well - that particular method appears , in a sense, to be "polymorphic",,, which is why I was confused.

In any case, we've made some more progress and almost have it working - with the exception of some fancy concurrent constructs and an "engine" map which
appears to be uncommented, we may have it working soon enough.
