Mushroom Life

game

Released in 2004 or earlier judging by wayback page archives.

A Mushroom perspective on John Conway's Game of Life:
1) Click on grid to sprout mushrooms.
2) Click Start button to begin life process.

Mushrooms follow these rules:
For each generation,
a mushroom with 1 or 0 neighbor dies (loneliness),
a mushroom with 4 or more neighbors dies (overcrowding),
a mushroom with 2 or 3 neighbors survives (stability),
an empty space with 3 neighbors sprouts a new mushroom (birth).
