This is a prototype to simulate primary ecological succession using Conway's "Game of Life" as an initial ruleset.


Left Click - Add lichen to the cell

Right Click - Remove lichen from the cell


The general order of growth goes as follows: 

Lichen > Annuals > Perennials > Fast-growing Trees > Slow-growing Trees


Thank you for checking this out! I appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvement which I might be able to incorporate into future projects.
