hack-of-life (networked multiplayer curses Conway's Life variant)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hack-of-life is a modified version of Conway's Game of Life that has
|
||
|
|
multiple colors of cells. The object of the game is to defeat other
|
||
|
|
players by eliminating their cells, and/or cover over 1/3 of the board
|
||
|
|
with cells of your color.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Considering how Life is a zero-player game, it makes it lots of fun
|
||
|
|
as a curiosity, but makes it very easy for people who are not Life
|
||
|
|
enthusiasts to quickly become bored after watching yet another glider
|
||
|
|
explode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So this decides to put the Game back in the Game of Life. And it does
|
||
|
|
that by taking the interface of the RogueLike genre of computer games
|
||
|
|
and terribly abusing it. The name of the game is adopted from the
|
||
|
|
RogueLike giant NetHack, resulting in the Hack of Life.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: the executable is called "hackoflife" (not "hack-of-life" like
|
||
|
|
the package name).
