Description

Ortho is a game similar to Conway's Game of Life. The player can draw a pattern in a grid, by turning cells on or off. The patterns will then change based on a number of rules. Each evolution step the cells orthographically connected to only one existing cell will change color. Each evolution a different color is added.

This implementation of the rules uses a 15x15 grid.
