Worms?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Worms? is a 1983 computer game written by David Maynard for Electronic Arts, released for the Atari 800 and Commodore 64.

The game is fairly abstract, like Conway's Game of Life, but the player's ostensible goal is to optimally program one or more "worm"s (each a sort of cellular automaton) to grow and survive as long as possible. As the worms move, they generate aleatoric music.
