We start with a hair follicle code that looks like this:

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
9 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0
8 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0
7 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0
6 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0

The hair follicle has 2 functions only ExtrudeUpward(int amount); and Shrink(int amount);

Rules are simple, you turn one zero into one using the left axis [2, 3, 4, 5] and right axis [9, 7, 6, 5]

if the number is on the higher end of the left axis it will extrude higher amount

if the number is on the higer end of the righ axis it will shrink higer amount

you cannot extrude more than your last extrusion

you cannot shrink more than your last shrink

game finishes when someone shave your hair follice, until then all your life choices will be enscripted into that hair follicle

If you cheat the game of hair, the rest of your hair follicles will commit suicide and leave you play alone your game

If you don't cheat they'll do the same, because everyone is constantly suspecting the other hair follicle is cheating

The point of the game is to grow as much as possible before someone shave you off

When you extrude all the numbers on the grid get concatinated with 0

So 1 10 100 1000, you can extrude and shrink individual frames or the root itself

I wonder if this is how hair really works
