Thank you so much! I've wanted to make a game from Conway's Game of Life for years now, but I could never figure out how to make it work. But I've wanted to make a roguelike for a while, and the jam had me thinking along the lines of a Rube Goldberg machine......so that's when the the idea clicked into place.
I was really inspired by the game Calculate It and DougDoug's PvP Game of Life stream.
