Press 'r' to randomize the field
Press 'e' to randomize the environment color
The idea is that the creatures (cubes) who more closely resemble their environment (backdrop color) are less likely to get eaten.
-When a cube disappears, is was a predator (or random death)
-The cubes most like the background color are less likely to be killed
-Over time, the cubes will interbreed and their color will average out
-Sometimes this may take 1000 'years' or 1000*12 turns (one predatory attack per 'month')
