 * Spore 2 
 * by Mike Davis. 
 * 
 * A short program for alife experiments. Click in the window to restart. 
 * Each cell is represented by a pixel on the display as well as an entry in
 * the array 'cells'. Each cell has a run() method, which performs actions
 * based on the cell's surroundings.  Cells run one at a time (to avoid conflicts
 * like wanting to move to the same space) and in random order.
