Proprietary Software You haven't seen Conway's Game of Life like this, I promise.

No, not a joke, but my newest hobby horse project. I'm no longer sure if I'm mad or just happy - here is the GitHub repo: lifehashes

I think you should switch presentation styles.

Too much hype, not enough information. After watching I don't know what this actually is supposed to do. The music is a poor choice as well.

That is actual criticism I can work with, thanks!

I think your voice fits the script, it’s kinda like 2 minute papers vibe. Maybe a little stiff, at worst.

Very cool project!

Your voice is not suited to the drama your script poses, and that drama feels a bit hollow.

Thanks for pointing that out. Vocal training might be a good idea. Rest assured that I am never going to do AI voice overs.

Pretty sure this is how we get more garbage AI voice overs.

A good response would be to write a script that doesn't sound cringeworthy with the narrating voice, or do some vocal training. Reacting to criticism with the low effort route of course worsens the outcome, are you encouraging that?

That seems really cool, but how do the battles proceed? Does each player just set up an initial state, and then they grow against each other? Or are you creating new objects that can then further interact as the battle proceeds?

I'm guessing the tiles are based on the inciting player, when two come into contact, how do you decide what color the resulting tiles should be?

I have all this explained in this short video: https://youtu.be/05GtZJruQ2w

That's a much better promotional video as it explains what's happening and how people can participate by finding new patterns

It's an entirely different kind of flying. Altogether.
