Dependencies

• A creative mind and a heart full of love

• when the game is not in the paused mode, the game world will automatically begin evolving. To toggle paused mode, press space
• automatic evolution happens every set amount of ticks. To speed up evolution, scroll down on the mouse wheel. Similarly, to slow down the evolution process, scroll up
• take screenshots by pressing p. Screenshots will be saved in your local directory depending on your operating system (see this link for more information: https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem)

Details
