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). |
