# https://busybox.neocities.org/notes/automata.txt
# # requires the sleep command & an ANSI capable terminal,
# invoke script as: awk -v SEED=$RANDOM -f automata.txt
# # notes...
# # an array of 4 'colonies', along with some metrics
# for each group is displayed on the current TTY,
# to exit, press & hold key-combo CONTROL+C till the
# script processes SIGINT
# # script will auto-exit once all 4 colonies are extinct
# but note, a given colony may reach stasis (equilibrium)
# & defy expectations, guess that's life...
