It's what it says on the tin, Conway's Game Of Life done in "garden" form.
Done in a rush for Ludum Dare 46: Keep It Alive
No sounds, sorry. :(
Controls:
- Left mouse - plant and remove crops.
- R - Reset the stage.
Goals:
- There is no way to win (though there's definitely a way to lose). Collect as many berries as you can while trying to avoid "wasting" crops.
- Treat it as a toy more than a game. There's not a huge consequence to losing, really.
- It is extremely easy to get a berry farm going that just produces live crops forever. Don't worry about it.
- Crops are only 'wasted' if you pick them up when they are 'dead'. Crops can be revived if there are enough live plants near them.
- Berries will only form if Conway's plant can sustain in place for 3 days or longer.
Tips:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life#Examples_of_patterns
this wikipedia might come in handy ;)
Known bugs:
- Dead plants will reset to first stage when coming back alive.
Additional resources used:
- Super Mario 2 font https://www.dafont.com/super-mario-bros-2.font
Notes: This was pretty rushed due to having roughly only 20 hours of the 48 hour jam to make a thing... it shows.
