║  CONWAY'S GAME OF LIFE - DYNAMIC NODE EDITION: INSTRUCTIONS                                                  ║

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Welcome to this unique adaptation of Conway's Game of Life! 

This version features a dynamic network of nodes representing 

three types of entities: Animals, Plants, and Minerals.

╔═══════════╗

║  ENTITIES                ║

╚═══════════╝

🔴 RED    - Animals

🟢 GREEN  - Plants

🔵 BLUE   - Minerals

⚪ GREY   - Inactive Nodes

╔════════════╗

║  CONTROLS              ║

╚════════════╝

▶ START    - Begin/Pause the simulation

🔄 RESET    - Clear all active nodes

🎲 RANDOMIZE - Randomly activate nodes

╔═══════════════╗

║  INTERACTIONS                ║

╚═══════════════╝

1. Animals consume adjacent Plants, turning them into Minerals.

2. When consumed, Plants attempt to spread to a nearby empty node.

3. Entities survive with 2-4 active neighbors.

4. New entities spawn in empty nodes with 2-4 active neighbors.

5. Overcrowding (>4 neighbors) may cause entities to die or change.

╔═══════════╗

║  STRATEGY             ║

╚═══════════╝

- Click nodes to manually activate/deactivate them.

- Observe how different entity distributions evolve over time.

- Try to achieve a balanced ecosystem or domination by one type.

╔════════════╗

║  OBJECTIVE               ║

╚════════════╝

There's no winning or losing - the joy is in the observation! 

Watch as complex patterns emerge from simple rules, and see 

how long you can maintain activity in the network.

"In the game of life and evolution, there are three players 

at the table: human beings, nature, and machines. 

I am firmly on the side of nature." - David Attenborough
