Emergence Game

This is not a typical "game" - you do not play it. It's a simulation that demonstrates how a world with simple rules will have emergent properties. The rules for this particular world are:

1. Create an image with random colors in each cell
2. Pick a random cell
3. Copy the cell's color to one of its neighbors
4. Repeat step 2-3, over and over again

To see this in action, click the Play button. Then click on Faster to speed up the process. Even though the rules are simple, life-like "blobs" emerge, and seem to "attack" each other. The number of unique colors will dwindle down, as individual colors go extinct, until only one color remains.
