1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbors dies, as if by under population.
2. Any live cell with two or three live neighbors lives on to the next generation.
3. Any live cell with more than three live neighbors dies, as if by overpopulation.
4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
1. A live cell with exactly two neighbors of the same type becomes that type.
2. A dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a live cell of the majority type. If there is no majority it does not come to life.

This is a testing ground for strategies. Left-click to place green player cells. Right-click to place orange player cells. Press space bar to pause/continue. Press 'c' to clear all of the cells.
ruby app.rb
Create a new class in the "morphogens" directory. Include the "Morphogen" module (see
other morphogen classes for examples). Define your own color, seed, and moves
methods. The color should return a hex color string. The seed should return an array
with 8 strings of length 8 with 'X' for live cells and ' ' for dead cells (this will be
your start). The moves takes an instance of WorldState and should return an array of
two positions where you want to make your moves.
