!MacroLife/LifeForms/Spaceships/!Catalogue
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
# # This file provides help messages for the Lifeforms in this directory. # AngelFish: A large and distinctive spaceship. Ecologist: An extra spaceship lets the puffer train clean up after itself. Flipper: This pattern 'flips over' every two generations. Flotilla: 'Overweight' spaceships can be stabilised by giving them an escort. FlyingMach: The flying machine produces a plume of exhaust which fades away. Frog: A 'quarter-lightspeed' spaceship (c/4). Manta: A 'half-lightspeed' spaceship (c/2). Spaceships: Lightweight, Middleweight and Heavyweight spaceships in formation. Turbine: A 'two-fifths lightspeed' spaceship (2c/5). Turtle: A 'one-third lightspeed' spaceship (c/3).
