A rock paper scissors automaton: green with at least 3 blue neighbours becomes blue, likewise blue becomes red, red becomes green.

Hi @soxofaan ! Hello and welcome to Seagull!
Thanks for this suggestion, it looks interesting and would like to include it in the API.

I wonder how you imagine the API would be? So far our LifeForms only have two states (alive or dead). I guess we can always have a custom lifeform with a given number of states and pass it to a rock paper scissors automaton.

Lastly, are you interested in opening-up a Pull Request for this? I can guide you along the way!

hi @ljvmiranda921

at the moment, I don't have the bandwidth to work on this myself.
It was just funny to see these two projects in my timeline a couple of days apart and I wanted to connect the dots :)

Addresses ljvmiranda921#26.

The current implemenation maintains separate 2D board matrices
for each state to allow the use of existing lifeforms.

Hi @ljvmiranda921. I've been having a crack at this and have opened a PR. I'd be very grateful if you gave it a look! I wanted to get something roughly working. I'm happy to junk it all if you think there's a better way.
