What is the objective? I can see the controls and I’ve made a few interesting patterns but what is the thing I’m trying to achieve? What’s the gameplay significance of the graph? What exactly is it even measuring?
Creator here. There is no defined objective. Perhaps that disqualifies it from being a 'game'. One hope I have had is that the game could be used to discovering interesting (turing complete or otherwise) rules that may have information processing capabilities beyond the game. Vague I realize. The timeseries at the bottom is just measuring the number of 'on' cells.
