Life-like particle system
- lawlessone 2y agoLooks a lot like how imagine atom nuclei to behave if really slowed down.
- jasonjmcghee 2y agoThe original! (I believe) There have been some cool / highly optimized implementations of this, now colloquially referred to as "particle life" https://particle-life.com/ https://particle-life.com/ https://hunar4321.github.io/particle-life/ https://hunar4321.github.io/particle-life/ This is a popular project and fun to implement- just search for "particle life". I also took a crack at this when playing with compute shaders in Godot, if you are interested in a very simple implementation. Under the folder "Life" https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/compute-shaders https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/compute-shaders
- ricardobeat 2y agoThe project you linked to has this in the readme: This project was inspired by: Jeffery Ventrella’s Clusters http://www.ventrella.com/Clusters/ So it looks like this submission is the original.
- ChrisClark 2y agoHe's saying this post is the original, and then pointing to some more projects inspired by it
- jasonjmcghee 2y agoIndeed - I see the ambiguity in the language I chose. Yes I was trying to communicate, from my understanding, the main post here is the original work, but it has inspired a bunch of projects since then.
- krunck 2y agoGreat. There goes my productivity this morning.
- ForOldHack 2y agoMine is gone too.
- tines 2y agoIs there an overview of the rules of the game somewhere?
- Mizza 2y agoDamn, this is cool. It pretty quickly developed cells, the light blue particles acting as a cell wall for the red and blue ones.
- ForOldHack 2y agoThank you, this is cool. It pretty quickly turned all the fans on my GPU to Max, and was quite ascetically pleasing.
- denton-scratch 2y ago> quite ascetically pleasing. If you get your kicks from material deprivation, I suppose.
- knowaveragejoe 2y agoThis is apparently related to Leap Motion. Whatever happened to that?
- michelb 2y agoIt was acquired by Ultraleap, that still sells the products. I don't how it performs against hand-tracking in camera nowadays.
- hodder 2y agoCool project.
- avsteele 2y agoIf you enjoy watching colorful balls fly around you may also enjoy: https://www.zerok.com/demo/ https://www.zerok.com/demo/ This is a little toy model of what goes on inside our ion source, laser cooling + photoionization. I use it in talks sometimes. The colormap is red=hot, blue=cold, white=ions
- dr_dshiv 2y agoLove it! I want more
- jzting 2y agoIf you like particles, you may enjoy this generative art project I made last year: https://www.artblocks.io/project/424 https://www.artblocks.io/project/424
- swayvil 2y agoIf you hate particles, here's a generative thing I did https://www.fleen.org/old_generative_art_projects/powerbox_4way_seamlessC.gif https://www.fleen.org/old_generative_art_projects/powerbox_4...
- euparkeria 2y agoI love gene pool, another program made by this guy.
- gramie 2y agoHas there ever been a successor to the particles + algorithmic music program Clusterworks? I used to spend hours just watching it and changing the movements and music with my mouse.
- imbusy111 2y agoOne I made some 10+ years ago: https://imbusy.org/files/circles.html https://imbusy.org/files/circles.html
- smusamashah 2y agoI remember playing with the same author's other project Gene Pool a lot many years ago. It was fun seeing creatures evolve, survive and die. https://www.swimbots.com/genepool/ https://www.swimbots.com/genepool/
- thriftwy 2y agoI wonder what would Langton's ant do on aperiodic hat monotile...
- swayvil 2y agoSelf organization always impresses me. Check out smoothlife. It's on YouTube somewhere. In the notes the creator discusses abandoning the project because of the soul-consuming effects of working on it all the time. Word to the wise.
