Description
Survivor is a strategy game for two players based on Conway's Game of Life. The players place initial cells on a 5x5 grid. Players don't know the starting position of the other player. After the initial input the board progresses one generation according to the rules of Conway's Game of Life. After each generation both players can place another cell on the board; if both pick the same spot neither is placed. The game ends when one player does not have any pieces left on the board after a generation.
