An idea of a GoL game

2 players: An attacker and a defender.

200x200 plane(bound is always died)

The attacker's target is to let one cell live on the 200th row. However, he can only place cells on 1-100th rows.

Every second, both the attacker and the defender get 1 cell.

The game will run at a speed in 1 s/gen.

The player can pause the game for 5s when someone start to place some cells, but after that the player can still place the cells, and the player can't pause the game in 55s.

The defender can't place cells in the place around the attacker's cells:

Code: Select all

.......
..xxx..
.xxxxx.
.xxoxx.
.xxxxx.
..xxx..
.......
The two players' cells will follow the immigration rule.

The player can copy some rles they save.

Sounds interesting. Are you planning to develop this into a playable game or test the rules with simulations first?

I, for one, are always in favour of two-player competitive Conway's GOL!

Oh, think 200x200 is too big, 100x100 is much better.
