Cultivation is a unique game that explores conflict and cooperation in a gardening community.

Cultivation explores the social interactions within a gardening community. You lead one family of gardeners, starting with a single individual, and wise choices can keep your genetic line from extinction. While breeding plants, eating, and mating, your actions impact your neighbors, and the social balance sways between conflict and compromise.

Cultivation features dynamic graphics that are procedurally-generated using genetic representations and cross-breeding. In other words, game objects are "grown" in real-time instead of being hand-painted or hard-coded. Each plant and gardener in the game is unique in terms of both its appearance and behavior.

Requirements:
OpenGL with the GLUT library installed.

What's New in This Release:
The game now has an eventual "win" condition: open the gate to immortality and lead your fellow gardeners through it.
The Lead button, used in achieving the goal, can also be used to quell a turf war. In-game tool-tips have been added to explain the buttons.
The storage area has been limited to 10 items: older items are dropped once the limit is reached.
