I like how in two of the settings, after an organism gets big enough, it ejects its outer layers and becomes a violent mass

4:00 a few seconds later, this worm race discovers music

Imagine you left it running for a few minutes and you come back and the organisms have developed a civilization and are trying to communicate with you

The merging of the creatures in the second clip blew my mind

This reminds me of a dream i had: I was on another planet, which was populated by these slimy-like creatures (which for some reason i knew were fungi??). Each one of these had a color and kept doing the same movement, like stretching or inflating...
I was bigger than the whole thing it was like looking at a scale model or something.
So I begun combining different fungi and their movement synergized creating new organinsms.
I was able to create a starfish and a living face... coolest dream i have ever had

Abiogenesis.
The early oceans must have teeming with random chemicals until one found a way of using others as food for replication.

[ITR]

That's cool, do all colors have a different degree of magnetism towards each other?

[ThoughtinFlight]

This makes it so much easier to visualise the primordial soup

wait until the simulation randomly generates a brain

Maybe when groups of particles stay together for long enough, they should differentiate from the rest and alter their behaviour slightly, I think that would be cool.

Looks like simple proteins, more than cells or organisms. I wonder if you can tweak the coding to create self replication, digestion, reproduction, and/or meiosis.

[cavvaldiv]

This is very very cool 😂
One think I keep seeing in the comments is people comparing this stuff to cell structures and life though, which it's patently not. These are more like subatomic particles and atoms than anything close to life.

It'd be interesting to train a neural network on the blobs of each rule-set; just like identifying 'cat' and 'dog', but finding the collection of representative 'organisms' that a rule generates.... then, a larger network could try to predict which rules generate the greatest diversity or complexity of interactions, I suppose... but that'd be a huge project, while identifying a particular rule-set's 'species' seems within reach....

3:13 I got the simulation, but nothing this complex ever seems to come out, which one did you use?

[UtubiSaY]

these particles are literally just vibin

[CGMaat]

Points, lines, shape, planes, surfaces, solids, to complexity self reflection. ALL is Geometry - number ! MENTALITY! Solutions de solutions !
ALL POINTS TO PONDER! OR POINTS THAT ARE PONDER!

[rossmillington]

I love it when the pink and blues get caught up in a dust up

[anthonyaportela]

how are you dealing with boundary conditions? it seems like particles move through them via periodic boundary conditions but the forces between them experience zero flux.

[MikaelIsaksson]

I made something sort of like this a long long time ago in assembly on a 486. So I tested various random settings and found one where it generated something that looked like an electron microscope image of a tube with small holes in it. Really really freaky. It bummed me out to no end when I lost that program in a hard-drive crash.

The worm in the right up corner has hiccups. 4:52
