A documentary about life in Particle Life Simulator

As it turns out, even simple rules make for complex behaviour. Lets look at some of these, and see if we can learn something.

So interesting! Imagine running this at many orders of magnitude higher scale & speed on a supercomputer one day... you gotta wonder if you'd eventually get digital life. So cool how things like self-replication and increasing complexity emerge out of such simple rules.

10:02 In the bottom left, you can actually see another glider like that rare one that just died. It's made of up of much less particles, but it's there. I'm guessing the reason they're rarer is because their "anatomy" is more complex.

That was a lovely world you found :) I especially loved the pacifist glider. And the ‘supernova’ reminded me of procreation

awesome i made one of these simulations myself too

This is really fascinating. What rules did you put in place? Looks like same colors attract one another but the other colors seem to have different responses to one another. Is it simply repulsion or is it a certain amount of repulsion ?

can we please get some sort of way to also use this simulation?

[BendeguzKutas]

Hey! What coding language did you use? I am trying to create simulations aswell. I am contemplating between c++ and c#. Could you also tell me the name of the library you used?

[iamgingerbread]

i tried this in unity and it crushed my memory allocation how is this so fps and memory efficient?

Nice vid but you probably should mention the original chanel that made this

How to run this yourself, see:

(It would be nice if you put the website in the title and description so people know where to go!) Thanks for the video!
