LIFE:anti-viral

Well after 60 hours of pretty solid coding I'm super happy to say that we managed to get something together with a few minutes to spare. We built everything from scratch in the time and are happy we managed to not fall out too badly!

Given that John Conway, the author of Life, died this week of Coronavirus it felt like a proper time to benefit from his huge contribution to mathematics and computing. Plus who else wrote a zero player game! We've made ours a kind of tower defence simulation.

The game is a super chaotic simulation with tons of particles and 3 types of offensive troops and 3 types of defensive towers.

It includes a level editor and the ability to share files to play each others sims. We ran out of time for the network storage for these in the cloud. Something to do later.

We hope you enjoy it, it's been a very exciting few days for us, we normally bite off more than we can chew...

This time:

• PIXI / React

Source code is included with the game.
