How this life works
Every cell holds a smooth amount of life, from 0 to 1. A ring-shaped neighbourhood feeds a growth curve. Tiny updates create these self-propelled forms.
This is a playground, with no score or win condition. Try pausing, adding a second creature, and watching how they meet. Creatures can merge or fade; Restart brings yours back.
The edges wrap: a creature leaving one side returns on the other. Space pauses; N steps; R restarts. On the focused habitat, arrows move a crosshair and Enter applies your selected tool.
