Simple Object Model - Bottom up Cell Life Demo

- The system is slightly interesting. You can monitor the balance with the number of live cells.
You may notice a shift in mutations as cells grow away from the center.

- With only a few mutations, the color of cells tend to shift in color over time.

- It takes many iterations for emergent behavior to emerge.

- Code wise not really that interesting but already we can visualize the emergent behavior.

- Cheating to make the simulation feasible
