Life, the game (with cells)

[beard0]

This is a version of life that I made, after an attempt to speed it up by examining only the rectangle containing live cells - if you check out the code you'll see what I mean. I also made a variation called rats, like life but dif. rules.

What is supposed to happen? Norhtin happens in either of them for me... I can fill in boxes but thats it. Sounds interesting though...

Hit escape after filling in boxes... It simulates life according to the rules in comments

wow very nice.
Notice if you arrange them in an asymmetrical pattern at the start, they move in mesmerizing patterns, and grow pretty well.
And sometimes they form stable colonies, that are later swallowed by larger groups.

Wow. That is freakin awsome! I made a chess rook and it took like 5 minutes for the little buggers to sort themselves out . I congratulate. I am going to give +10BITS of my saved bits because I am deeple impressed!

-++


+-+


--+

Will actually travel along a diagonal. (+ are live, - are dead)
