#2Seems as if pretty much every state is a steady state. Would be interesting if some were predators and others prey, with some feature that allows them to "starve"

#3Every time I add (pink) cells, they are always immediately killed. Is that intended?

Try pausing it, then adding a larger clump.

Pause it and add a blob. My pink blob made blue go extinct ):

#7Nice! I made something similar except it was more about how people are influenced by ideas of people around them and less about violence. link: http://goo.gl/H0Wqxo

#8Interesting - red got blue and green into a corner, had time to gobble them up for itself, and then went on to defeat black!

#9Cool to watch, though this is a fairly straightforward model of complex contagion on a finite grid. It's similar to Conway's Game of Life in that there's a grid and local rules, but beyond that, the nature of the rules results in a different kind of behavior.

#10It's interesting dumping groups of cells into different parts of the board and seeing how it reacts - a group in the middle of one color gets absorbed quickly, a group along the border of several colors hangs on for much longer, etc.
