This is my first PICO-8 cartridge, and my first time with Lua outside config files for i3wm.
Petri is a puzzle game based on a problem I've been obsessing over for a few years.
It's Conway's Game of Life, but run backwards. It's pretty tough, even the 6x6 board.
Let me know what you think.
1.0.1:
- removed todo in tab 1
1.0.2:
- fixed cart data bug. defaults to six if not present
- fixed graphical bug after resizing to 6x6. tiles deliberately zeroed now.



Damn it's really hard. I can't figure it out. Maybe start with a 2x2 board and go from there! Super cool concept.



I thought I understand the Game of Life pretty well, but doing it backwards like this is super hard.
