A cellular automaton-like MMO game based on text terminals. Players will write unique cell reproduction logic and place cells in the vast cell world to grow, reproduce, compete, cooperate with other players' cells, and write their own species history.
Cell Hacker
SteamCell Hacker is a game based on cellular automata. You can write your own survival logic for your cells, place them in the unpredictable cell world, and write your story with other players' cells.
Features:
· Use any full-width character or emoji to represent your cell
· Write AI for your cells using assembly language-like scripts. The editor in the game will give you the information you need in real time during the writing process, so you can easily get started with it.
· Your cells can interact with other players' cells in any way, whether through conquest, deception, parasitism, symbiosis, service, and cooperation. But be careful to confirm your neighbors' intentions, they won't always interact with you the way you expect.
· After placing cells into the cell world, they will automatically run 24/7 according to the logic you wrote, whether you are online or offline. You can come back and observe them any time you like.
· The game provides a variety of different cell worlds for you to choose from. Some worlds are stable and gentle, some are volatile, and some evolve at a faster rate so you can quickly test the cellular AI you write.
· This is a slow-paced game. The evolution of the cellular world is often measured in minutes, and the reproduction history of a species may last for several months. You can prepare a sumptuous dinner, get a good night's sleep, and come back the next day to observe what wonderful things your cells have prepared for you as if you were observing a real petri dish.
