That dev has a bunch of cool projects.
- justusthane 3y agoYeah, that’s insane. (For the initiated, make sure to zoom in and out).
- ehsankia 3y agoI had seen the one layer before, but they way they get it to go forever and make it work so smoothly by dynamically adjusting the speed is pure genius!
- not-chatgpt 3y agoThe zoom out is just chef's kiss
- donkeybeer 3y agoI would like to check later on if the rules for this "cellular automata" (if it is one) are documented and the fractal nature naturally concludes from it or whether the fractal was simply manually forced when you zoom a certain level.
- metafunctor 3y agoI’m pretty sure it’s manually forced, but I would be delighted to be educated otherwise.
- nabogh 3y agoGood clues in its previous posting to HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33978978 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33978978
- fastball 3y agoThe explainer is here: https://blog.oimo.io/2023/04/10/life-universe-en/ https://blog.oimo.io/2023/04/10/life-universe-en/
- data-ottawa 3y agoWow, that is so cool! I’ve fiddled with Conways game of life a lot, implementing it recursively in SQLite, various languages, explored variations of it; I knew you could simulate it inside the game, but this is mind blowingly cool! And it’s so smoothly done, it’s like stepping through the looking glass.
- nhggfu 3y agothat is crazy trippy in a fractal-y kind of way. very smart.
- archon810 3y agoHmm, just says Loading and not actually loading for me on my phone.
- iancmceachern 3y agoMe too

- gushogg-blake 3y agoSame on Brave, shields down makes it work
- slow_typist 3y agoThat is really amazing.
- mmwelt 3y agoThe clock is also pretty cool: https://oimo.io/works/clock/ https://oimo.io/works/clock/
- jordanpg 3y agoThis little app makes me feel, perhaps more than I ever have before, that CA might be what's under the hood of the whole universe. (Not a Wolfram fanboy, just reporting on a new sense of awe and mystery!)
- cwmma 3y agothe Bell Inequality is one of the things that really puts a damper in that idea. It's like OK everything is local with a speed limit, but there is a little but of superluminal stuff it's just not actually useful in any way except to wet blanket ideas like this.
