@gray17 @glyph @stevenf @pho4cexa And Liquid War, anyone? The initial release was, uh, 1995? Feeling old now.

@stevenf This is amazing, now I wanna do a game jam...
@stevenf there's an NES game called "the mutant virus" where the cells on the ground follow the GoL rules and your goal is to make sure the non-virus cells win
@stevenf TIL there is a surprisingly large number of projects named this
@stevenf this is a really cool concept!
@stevenf Thought "Oh, I know what this is called", looked up at the title bar, yep. GOOD WORK.
@stevenf Nice concept! I want to play this!
@stevenf Conway’s game of DeATh! I really like this. … got me thinking it could work well for all sorts of automata like systems, and maybe for something like a gardener trying to help an ecosystem diversify.
@stevenf What a great idea!
@stevenf this is genius, I love it !
@stevenf That’s genuinely such a cool idea. Never seen Conway’s game of life used in a game that way.
@stevenf WHERE DO I PIRATE IT?? (i sadly have no money so its all i can do to enjoy games)
@stevenf Oh - this is amazing!
