From the README

A browser-based arcade game collection powered by Conway's Game of Life — and 50+ other cellular automaton rulesets.

Draw defensive patterns that evolve into intercepting structures. Watch glider-based missiles clash with your living defenses. Explore exotic CA rulesets, design your own levels, and browse hundreds of known Life patterns — all in a zero-dependency, no-build-step browser app.

Your cities are under attack. Enemy gliders descend from above — draw cells of life to intercept them.
