    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…

        ;)

    This somehow utterly destroys my 3070Ti when running on Firefox.

    Fortunately works fine on other browsers - I was just a bit confused initially that there were so many positive comments for something that ran at 1fps.

    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.

      really really awesome.

    Pleasingly wiggly :)

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

    • gota 7 hours ago ago

      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.

    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

    • kentf 5 hours ago ago

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

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

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