Like Game-of-Life, but on Growing Graphs, with WASM and WebGL (znah.net)

My quick investigation indicates that rule 2183 with a zero flipProb and the "fancy tentacles" is the most consistently able to generate penis-like images

Addendum: limit it to ~300 growthLimit to... manage expectations

And the preset doesn't matter - I thought it was a initial config that applies to any rule; it is a preset of the previous parameters instead


500 growthLimit for others…

;)


Awesome. Well done.

really really awesome.

This is beautiful. Have you looked at Stephen Wolfram's Physics project?

https://www.wolframphysics.org/

Reminds me of watching his idea of spacetime coming into existence.


Pleasingly wiggly :)

8690 with a non-zero flip probability has a fun little effect I call "whoomph"


8690 with a high flipProb, "stable explosion" preset, is like a fuse -

be patient and it 'explodes'.

Very fun!

(Edit: apparently the fuse can 'die off' but the thing still eventually explodes)


Some of those look like thongs.

Wow. Just stunning. Congrats!

Haven’t heard of SwissGL before, but this render feels super performant. Nice work with the Barnes-Hut algo!

This looks similar to the graphs on "2swap"[1]. Worth a watch if you haven't by now.

This is awesome.

I'd love to see it with more than one type of stem cell and also some kind of apoptosis.


Feels like building proteins, or some kind of RNA/DNA molecules.

looks kinda like wolfarm physics project: ref: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2021/11/the-concept-of-t...

Now we can see it knitting space-time before our eyes

ha, great minds. Posted nearly the exact same thing, but you were first, so upvote for you.

I get black screen on chrome. Works only on firefox.

mesmerizing...

Very cool! Feels very alive

Amazing!

Good scifi. Strong alien vibe. Reminds me of Dark City.

Tends to get spindley but maybe that's just my phone
