+elife - Game of life / Living graphic
+v1.2
+
+Packaging and general structure from EEnvader.fractal by Boris Faure <billiob@gmail.com>
+Many thanks to you Boris !
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+Enlightenment 0.16.999 (aka e17)
+
+Install
+=======
+
+./autogen.sh
+make
+sudo make install
+
+"elife" will then appear in the "System" category of e17 wallpapers configuration panel.
+A binary called "elife" is also created and installed to run elife in standalone.
+
+Glouglou support
+================
+
+To enable glouglou support, pass --enable-glouglou to automake scripts :
+./autogen.sh --enable-glouglou
+OR
+./configure --enable-glouglou
+
+You will need libglouglou and glougloud
+
+Elife slows down my e17 !
+=========================
+
+elife is running in the same process as e17 therefore it can slow down the
+whole window manager, depending on your machine CPU.
+
+To improve this, you can:
+
+* Use OpenGL rendering in e17 by using the Composite module, and set the engine
+to OpenGL in Composite > Rendering pannel
+
+* Reduce the size of the elife grid by modifying the source code, in
+src/elife_evas_smart.c at the definitions of NCELL_X and NCELL_Y
+
+TODO
+====
+
+* make install without sudo rights
+* make a gadget
+
+Code organisation
+=================
+
+The core code is in src/elife_evas_smart.c
+All the other files are here to build standalone binary and edje file.
+
+src/elife_evas_smart.c
+	At each life cycle, grid_evolution() gets called
+
+Ideas
+=====
+
+freenode #e
+20:08 < loran> for the moment each cell is an evas_object. having the whole grid as one evas object and filling polygons manually (i'll take a look at seed 
+               algorithm) might be faster, not sure
+20:10 < loran> but if i can have opengl rendering for the background with composite module for example, then i will improve other parts of elife, like having cell
+               created on external events like new processes, packets blocked by firewall, ...
+20:10 < loran> :p
+20:15 < drohan> it sounds interesting, but for future reference, you need a way to gain trust from the users, a background that uses cpu is not trusted, if you 
+                change it as a widget or something else or try to comment all the code so the users can see what you are doing with it
+20:16 < loran> haha good point :p
+20:17 < drohan> and even then you will have a little problem with trust, change everything so you don't have to install it system wide, just local .e dir
+20:17 < loran> i think you can run make install without system rights
+20:17 < loran> without sudo
+
+Optimisation ideas:
+* one evas_object_rectangle, manualy write memory inside it (DONE)
