Goal of the game is to play all the cards in such an order that at least one alive cell is left.
A card can kill some cells and create new ones, according to the rule written on the card.
Each digit after the S on the card means that a living cell with exactly as much living neighbors will live, otherwise it will die.
Each digit after the B on the card means that in empty cell with exactly as much living neighbors, a new living cell will appear.
For example, B3/S23 means cell survives only with 2 or 3 neighbors, no more, no less; and born when there is exactly 3 neighbors.
This game was inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-like_cellular_automaton.
Author of Game of Life, John Horton Conway, has died on 11 April 2020 at the age of 82. After hearing about it, I have decided to try and make something Conway-inspired for LD (while following the LD theme), so here it is.
There is also an option in game to add your own custom levels or entire level pack. It would be great if someone would share his/her levels in comments:)
