What happens when you give simple things room to move? Patterns appear. Nobody planned them.

murmuration

boids

Three rules are enough for a flock: stay close, don't collide, follow the average heading. Move through it; click to scatter.

cell life

Every cell inherits a genome. It hunts food, spends energy to grow segments, flagella, and organelles, then reproduces with small genetic variations.

cellular

Each cell reads its eight neighbors. Click to edit the population; press space to pause.

It is the low-level stuff doing its job: local decisions, repeated thousands of times, making a shape that no single part can see.

These little worlds have no finish line. Refresh to reseed them, resize the window to disturb them, or simply let them surprise you.
