Description

Tommy's blob simulates two blobs of slime meeting on a stump, or the immune system of a frenchman. The game starts with the bad blob already pretty well established on the screen. You then move the good blob cursor using the 4 arrow keys on the numeric key pad to establish your blob on the screen.
Once established, each blob grows on its own by a simple algorithm as follows:
A blob square will attempt to expand into each of the 8 adjacent squares, based on the number of squares 'n' within a radius of 'grid' occupied by Hostile blobs.
Select a game difficulty level (1..9), a grid size (1..99), and a probability level p (.5-1.0). Set a time limit if desired. Then start moving the good blob cursor using the arrow keys on the numeric key pad.
