Description

This is a little puzzle game I made based on Wolfram's rule 30[0]. I was doing some sketches based on old Genuary[1] prompts and for some reason this idea stuck with me, so I polished it up into a hopefully playable state.I wanted to keep things minimal, but as a semi-easter egg you can play custom variants using url parameters like https://demos.samgentle.com/wolfrominoes/?rows=20&rule=110[0] https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Rule30.html[1] https://genuary2021.github.io/prompts
