A downloadable game for Windows

This is a simple game created in a rush over a few hours. It requires 2 players to act in turns.

In the first turn both players are allowed to place 5 cells anywhere in the grid as long as it doesn't overwrite the other's cells.

In the subsequent turns, each player can: 

  1. Convert one cell from the grid to their colour. 
  2. Turn off one cell from the grid.

The game is over once only one type of cell is left on the grid.

This game follows all Conway's Game of Life standard rules:

  1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies.
  2. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
  3. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies.
  4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell.

Hover these rules are added to convert to the 2 player medium:

  1. Any cell with 2 live neighbours of one colour, and another 1 live neighbours of the other colour, will become a live cell of the former colour
  2. Any live cell with only 2 live neighbours of different colours will have a 50/50 chance of changing colours.

The few controls that are there:

  • SPACE: Continue.
  • LEFT CLICK: Performs the current turn action.
  • ESC: Closes the game.
  • ENTER: Resets the game, only when prompted.
