Welcome to DEATH!
DEATH is a variant to Conways game of LIFE.
Every LIFE game can be described by two sets of numbers:
* numbers of neighbors for a item to survive
* numbers of neighbors for a item to be born
What I added is mulitiplayer support and a third number:
* numbers of friendly neighbors for a friendly item to survive
* numbers of friendly neighbors for a friendly item to be born
* numbers of friendly neighbors for a foe item to be killed
the players take turns.
# how to start the game?
python -m DEATH
# controls
- arrow-keys: move cursor
- space: toggle field value; after that it is the next player's turn
- return: perform a single step (only for the active player);
after that it is the next player's turn
- "q": quit
# legacy
