I was just going through the source of the curses demo Game of Life (life.py), and saw that the TODO had mouse support and colour.

I created a patch that adds those two wishlist items. Given that mouse support and the use of curses.flash() are missing from the demo programs, I think it's a bit of an upgrade ;-)

Pretty cool. Do you think, the '*' themselves should be colored or
randomly colored? ( No, I have not seen a Game of 'Random-Colored' life )

Sounds like an awesome idea.

The new patch now coloured cells :-)
