Would be great to see a running demo.
That said, I've recently become very fascinated with slime molds, particularly Physarum polycephalum. I bought a kit to grow one on agar plates, and it's fascinating to witness its behavior in contrast to growing a fungus or a plant. It's surprising the kind of decisions it makes. Sometimes it focuses entirely on one piece of food, then gets "bored" and starts exploring its surroundings. It forms networks between pieces of food, but not to the extent that I was expecting. It's rather single-minded at times. Perhaps that will change the older and bigger it gets. Nevertheless, I can see why creating a simulation of one would be an engaging project.
