Particle Lenia Deluxe Edition
- UltraSane 1y agoI wonder what alife running on exaflop computers could find.
- CraftingLinks 1y agoYes, what is interesting with particle lenia is that the number of particles act as a sort of resolution of the energy fields they create. The more particle you can throw at it, the more fractal like details and complexity in the organisation pattern become visible.
- UltraSane 1y agoWe need alife with access to a state space at least as large as biological life, which is pretty freaking big.
- CraftingLinks 1y agoThis port of Particle Lenia was achieved using compute shaders within Three.js and the (still unofficial) Three.js Shading Language (TSL).
- imiric 1y agoMesmerizing visuals! I wasn't familiar with Lenia. It mentions that the visualization can be seen at the bottom of the post, but I only see the video and image gallery. I have WebGPU enabled in Chromium.
- CraftingLinks 1y agoYeah, sorry about that. It would just brick most people's phone. But there is a link to the git repo so you can run it in your browser locally.
- lbeckman314 1y agoAwesome port, playing around with the 3D example now! Steps to run (in Chrome): git clone https://github.com/craftlinks/Notebook cd Notebook/particle-lenia node --version # v24.3.0 npm i npm run dev # 2D Example: http://localhost:5173 # 3D Example: http://localhost:5173/gpu_test

- sitkack 1y agoThis is nice. Slackermanz created the discrete version of what would later become Lenia, called MNCA (Multiple Neighborhood Cellular Automata). https://slackermanz.com/ https://slackermanz.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/slackermanz https://www.youtube.com/c/slackermanz
