The goal is to create a flower matching the requirements. 

  • In the first phase you create offspring either by mutating or combining existing flowers. 
  • Second phase you choose which flowers to keep. 
  • You switch between phases with continue button.
  • Repeat until you reach the goal or get bored and hit autoplay

The mechanic is based on genetic algorithm  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm).

The title is based on a retelling of a story from a book which title I don't even know. Basically people were immortal or sth and one person's hobby was to breed flowers with the goal of creating blue rose. After he succeeded he was upset because everyone else claimed it was not blue. 

This was done as a course project at university few years ago. We had a poster and everything. Could've sworn we also had a title page, but I guess I forgot to commit that.
