This program is supposed to be like the game of Life. The game, when started, puts a certain number of microbes on the grid, and life or death is determined by the next turn. The microbes will die if the have less than 3 neighbors, but they can also die if there is overcrowding. Also when conditions are right new microbes will be born. You can turn the sound on or off, and turn on hints by life and numbers. After that, you have about 30 seconds to move the microbes anywhere on the grid to come up with as much as possible. You move the microbes by clicking on the one you want to move and then clicking on the square you want to move them to. If you don't hit space bar to take your next turn within the 30 seconds, the game ends. You have 14 days to register the program.
