SporoGen: Outbreak

Step into the dynamic world of SporoGen: Outbreak, where strategy, evolution, and survival collide in a captivating grid-based environment. This game is designed to be a zero-player experience, where you set up the initial conditions and watch as the world evolves. Your strategic inputs will influence the outcomes, but the game will primarily play out on its own, allowing you to witness the complex interactions and emergent behavior of your SporoGens and the environment.

Key Features:

• SporoGens: These creep-like entities spread based on the energy given to them. Each cell of a SporoGen can share its energy with neighboring cells to replicate and expand. They cannot pass through walls and require energy to spread. SporoGens of different colors will compete for dominance, with higher-energy SporoGens overtaking lower-energy ones.
• Energy Sources: Provide infinite energy when touched by a SporoGen. The color of the energy source determines the color of the SporoGen.
• Energy Drains: Act as sinks, draining energy from any SporoGen that touches them.
• Sporocides: Act as bombs that, once they consume enough SporoGen, explode into more of themselves, killing any SporoGen within their radius.
• Wall Building: Construct walls to create strategic barriers and control the movement of SporoGens and enemies. Plan your layout carefully to maximize efficiency.
• Temp Energy Sources: Act as temporary energy sources that do not change the color of the SporoGen, providing quick boosts for short-term strategies.

Gameplay:

1. Starting Out: Begin with a few initial SporoGens and basic energy sources. Place additional energy nodes and structures to set up the initial conditions.
2. Energy Management: Observe how SporoGens interact with energy sources and drains. Regenerate energy sources periodically and see how SporoGens use this energy to spread.
3. Expansion: Watch as your SporoGens spread across the grid by consuming energy. Plan your initial setup to guide their expansion and avoid overextending your resources.
4. Defense and Offense: Use walls to create defensive barriers and deploy Sporocides to control the spread of rival SporoGens. Adapt your strategy based on the evolving grid dynamics.
