There's a similar project that runs right in your browser: https://exophysics.net/ It's more simple, and more about physics than biology, but the emergent phenomena are pretty interesting nevertheless. This univer

I use transform feedback, which allows vertex shaders to send data back to the application. You could do this with textures as well, as described by pjmlp. I did this in an earlier version ( https://github.com/hut/cell

Thank you :) I can't edit it anymore, but will think of that next time.

Hey people, I built this particle simulator in ~500 lines of self-contained HTML/JS/WebGL2. It's designed to encourage creativity and exploration. You can just download one of those universes and open up the HTML file in a te
