Digital Petri Dish Initial Release


Made in 48 hours, this is the initial release of my unimaginatively named cellular automata project. 

Just wanted to make something since it had been awhile, I intend to add more to this in the future but have other concepts I wanna get to first.

You get some sliders in the bottom right corner, controlled by the arrow keys, that adjust the survival and birth thresholds.

Newly birthed cells get the average of their neighbors colors, plus a chance to mutate slightly.

You can pretty easily create patterns that are rough on the eyes, hit R to reset at any time.

I will likely release the source soon once its cleaned up a bit, this was written with C++ and SDL2.
