If I remember correctly, this is actually programmed into cell.py. It ought to be modified to be a bit more clever about it.

This affects:

Folly (the test environment) since it doesn't care about parents and stuff so it will hit this exit() pretty often.
Trying to run scripts with HighLife or other algorithms. Since highlife also generates cells with 6 parents, this will also close golly.

Some thoughts on fixing it:

3 can be handled by randomly selecting 3 or trying to pull from all I guess...
< 3 > 0 can be handled by just pulling from the 1 or 2 i suppose
for 0 parents... idk... random? would that ever happen?

fixed.

3 uses the first three in the cellList
< 3 uses random DNA to fill in what is missing
