Karelgenesis_of_Life

Inspired by John Conways "Game of Life" and "Biogenesis" by Joan Queralt Molina.

The three phases of life start with Karel seeding a few fountains of youth, represented by beepers in black patches of "land".

Than the circle of life commences, with Karel being the fickle hand of god that moves randomly over the board, at certain times deciding to bless or smite the life she passes.

Being blessed means growth and changing colour, while smiting leads to permanent death or being composted.

Having grown several times it is possible for life to reproduce, and spread to other patches of land; possible in the process overwhelming neighboring life.

After an ungodly amount of divine acts, in the final ascension phase, the fountains are collected by their creatress Karel; leaving only the result of the onslaught of the competition that is life.

TIP: Run at top speed to spare your own life from wasting away...

Growth steps: black -> gray -> brown -> purple -> red -> orange -> olive

Steps with reproduction: olive -> blue -> green -> cyan -> pink

Each reproduction step becomes more successful and creates more offspring.
