Lifody

Lifody is an experimental generative music simulator that fuses Conway’s Game of Life with melodic DNA.

Every single cell carries its own musical genome — a set of notes (pitch, duration, velocity, articulation). Living clusters evolve, mutate, and create real music in real time. The player can influence evolution using 11 different tools, tonal regions, catalyst events (meteorite, resonance, freeze, etc.), and a library of favorite melodies.

**Key Features:**

• Melodic DNA that is inherited through crossover

• Fitness system and natural selection driven by music

• Tonal regions (major, minor, dorian, etc.)

• Catalyst events and interaction tools

• Melody library with similarity comparison

• Fully procedural music + additive synthesis

The game is still in active development. Right now you can play an early prototype with core simulation, audio, and UI.
