Start with one bacterium in the middle
within a minute the bacteria can spared
up, down, right and left, however it cant
spared diagonally.
The second time I start with four
bacterium going diagonally, within a
minute the bacteria can spared up, down,
right and left, however it cant spared
diagonally.

The third time I also start with four
bacterium but in a different pattern a
before, within a minute the bacteria can
spared up, down, right and left, however it
cant spared diagonally. However a got the
same results as the second one.
The fourth time I moved the starting
bacterium to start at the corner of the
dish, but still followed the rule of only able
to spared up, down, right and left.

The fifth one i changed the rules, now the
Bacterium can spared diagonally but now
they cant go up, down, left of right.
However I got the same results as the first
time. Because of this I changed the rule
again.
In the last one i changed the rule again;
know the bacterium can spread up, down,
right, left and diagonally. And as you can
see the number of bacteria increases
significantly.
