Ancient Switchboard

Ancient Switchboard

This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive
(may not load correctly).
Here is a little puzzle game based on Conway's Game of Life.

In Ancient Switchboard, you have to push the right button(s) at the right time in order to clear the board while the switchboard evolve according to Conway's rules.

I hope someone will found it fun to experiment the game of life this way and to discover some nice properties like I did during the developement.

Tools : c++, SDL2/Opengl and my homemade game engine (in work in progress)

Sound : bfxr

graph : gimp
