ok, so here is a link to my project guidelines...
http://www.santarosa.edu/~ssarkar/cs10sm09/cis10/proj5.html
by the way, the deadline was extended to 08/07/09
and here is my code for my program... it compiles and counts perfectly, but for my project i need the program to go from generation 1 to generation 2 to generation 3, etc... using the previous generation. the text file containing the data to be read into the program has been attached, its called "lifedata.txt, and here is my code. I desperately need help as i need to turn this in in 10 hours. I have also added the output to the end of my code.
