FS#11522 - Make Rockbox recognize Game of Life configurations with a .l extension
Some collections (such as ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/games/amusements/life/dblifelib-2.tgz) use an extension of “.l” instead of “.cells” for what appears to be the same file format (same comment character and same characters for dead and live cell).
This patch just adds an entry to viewers.config so that Rockbox will treat .l files as supported and open them with Rocklife.
I have discovered that some files with a .l extension do not have the same format. These don’t pose a problem for rocklife, but will just appear as a blank starting configuration. I will see about adding support for these configs too.
I found a page that describes commonly used file formats here:
http://psoup.math.wisc.edu/mcell/ca_files_formats.html#Life%201.05
I will work on adding support for .LIF .RLE and .L formats.
This patch adds support for both varieties of .l files and should allow for relatively easy inclusion of new formats. Should support any of the files in the archive I linked in the task details.
This should never happen, please inform Flyspray Developers.
