In a naive implementation using 1 byte per cell and a full duplicate of state for advancement, you can support an 8192x8192 grid in 128MB of memory, which while high is supportable on all devices that support iOS 5. With various optimizations you can increase this size significantly of course. But at a completely practical level, is 8K x 8K not a big enough max grid size? -- David Duncan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
