Comments on: Faster SVG Game of Life http://www.kevlindev.com/blog/?p=71 A Blog by Kevin Lindsey Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:04:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Thelonious http://www.kevlindev.com/blog/?p=71#comment-1347 Tue, 03 Oct 2006 22:55:13 +0000 http://www.kevlindev.com/blog/?p=71#comment-1347 Hey Jacobus, Yes, I think now is definitely the time to show your support for the work being done to bring SVG to various target platforms and user-agents. I haven't had the time familiarize myself with all the options out there, but the little work I've done in Opera and Firefox is quite encouraging. I'm sure some folks are disappointed to lose features they already have in ASV, but when I compare what ASV was like at 2.0 and what are options are now, I can tell you Opera and Firefox are coming along wonderfully. But, as with any software vendor, it's our responsibility to let them know they are doing great work and to encourage them in areas where their implementations are weak. That's the only way ASV got to where it was...um...two years ago. I have been following the various incarnations of EmiaSys for years now. I plan to give their latest viewer a look soon, as time permits. Thanks for your feedback! -Kevin Hey Jacobus,

From your post, don't you think we (us SVG people), should start re-looking our view of Opera and Firefox. Your homepage still suggests ASV. It will be great if it could say Opera, since they are committed to a future with SVG. Just another note. Have a look at http://www.emiasys.net/ (they are the guys doing Renesis) I downloaded version 0.2 and was pleasantly surprised. It's only 1.2Meg and integrates lovely into MS (for those who still use it ;-) Just note that Renesis supports SVG though oject tag or iframes and not with the embed tag. Cheers, Jacobus Hi Kev!
