A Mushroom perspective on John Conway's Game of Life: 1) Click on grid to sprout mushrooms. 2) Click Start button to begin life process. Mushrooms follow these rules: For each generation, a mushroom with 1 or 0 neighbor dies (loneliness), a mushroom with 4 or more neighbors dies (overcrowding), a mushroom with 2 or 3 neighbors survives (stability), an empty space with 3 neighbors sprouts a new mushroom (birth).
