You play by generating a random graph (out of 9 billion possibilities).Use mouse to zoom/drag or hover over nodes to trigger transforms, or just hit "start" and "stop" buttons.
Think about the graph as if it is alive. Is it? If it does nothing, then is dead. If it grows fast and builds a repeated pattern, then is not interesting. If it grows a little, then it keeps more or less the same, or it has some parts which grow and some parts which shrink, so there seems to be a balance between growing and shrinking, then you hit the jackpot.
It is OK if the creature lives a while and then it dies. After all, the 10_quine is mortal. 6 new creatures were found, see "new quine?". In order to check they are truly alive, use "reload CODE" and "start" and "stop" several times, to see if they live long enough. However we just found also an immortal quine, which also comes from one of the 720 possible eggs.
Attention! When you hit "load" a "new ... random graph", each time you get a new one. If you want to reload the same random graph again, then use the "reload" button.
If you find something that you think is alive, then copy-paste the "code" of the creature and send a mail to Marius.Buliga@imar.ro. You see the code when you load.
