based on bcj the Animal Crossing Flower Racing League Commissioner, I've created the Fantasy Flower Racing League
This is a pretty simple script that just plants a column of random flowers, and then every round, there's a chance of an empty pixel switching to a color of its neighbors.
To add some realism, and to work around a different bug, the black pixels you see are actually partially transparent colors. It takes 3 rounds for a flower to be an adult, and able to spread to the next space.
This gives an interesting cellular automation animation! By changing some of the variables, you can get different results, but usually these huge flower races only have 3 or so contenders by by the time they go a distance of 50 pixels.
of course, here's the code! https://github.com/Jeran64/FantasyFlowerRacingLeague/blob/main/FLSS1.py
and special thanks again to FRL commissioner @bcj for the inspiration!
