+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).
