Welcome to DEATH!

DEATH is a variant to Conways game of LIFE.

Every LIFE game can be described by two sets of numbers:

• numbers of neighbors for a item to survive
• numbers of neighbors for a item to be born

What I added is mulitiplayer support and a third number:

• numbers of friendly neighbors for a friendly item to survive
• numbers of friendly neighbors for a friendly item to be born
• numbers of friendly neighbors for a foe item to be killed

the players take turns.

how to start the game?

python -m DEATH

controls

• arrow-keys: move cursor
• space: toggle field value; after that it is the next player's turn
• return: perform a single step (only for the active player); after that it is the next player's turn
• "q": quit
