This is a multiplayer version of Conway's Game of Life.
Players compete for space on the board. The leaderboard shows the players that occupied the most cells on the board at one time.
When an empty cell comes to life because it is a neighbor to three cells of multiple players, the new cell is assigned to the player occupying two of the three surrounding cells.
All players with fewer than 25 cells available to place receive an extra cell every 2 generations.
This is an alternate server since the main lifecompetes server is not working.
The sometimes game randomly disconnects for a few seconds, this often is just the server refreshing when when something is being updated. Wait a few seconds and refresh the page if that happens. Generally, if anything glitches try refreshing the page. If a normal reload doesn't work try ctrl+shift+r. If that doesn't work try clearing cache. Sometimes there's a glitch where you can only see cells of one color, refreshing usually fixes that as well. If that doesn't work, it's probably some server issue (send a message in the ConwayLife discord about it).
