HOW TO PLAY

DISCOVER — open the BUILDER, pick a grid size and draw a figure, then place it. The game runs it forward and catalogs the stable shapes it settles into — still lifes, oscillators, spaceships, even infinite-growth engines. Each new one earns points and an entry in your collection
RARITY — rarer shapes and the harder classes (spaceships, growth) score more. Be the first player ever to find a shape for a big bonus
SHAPES — your discoveries live in the tray, grouped by class. Tap one then tap the map to place it, or drag it straight on. SAVE in the builder keeps any figure in YOUR SHAPES
MOVE — drag anywhere on the map; mouse wheel / pinch / + − to zoom
WARP — teleport to a random live cell; RECENTER returns to 0,0. The red glowing wall far away marks the end of the universe (±536,870,911 cells)
ENERGY — every placement costs energy; it refills 1/s. Bigger shapes cost more
The board is shared live with every player — coordinates are shareable
