A particle life simulation written in Go. In summary how it works is that...
- Different particles are attracted or repelled from each other in different amounts
- This results in emergent dynamics and groups of particles that act as "organisms"
- These can chase each other, consume each other and move around almost like simulated life forms
You can interact with the simulation using the controls described in the bottom-right corner of the screen when running the simulation.
I have always found the principle of emergence fascinating and this is an example I really like - from simple physics based simulation we get complex and advanced behaviours.
As part of this project, I've implemented...
- Concurrency and space partitions to improve performance
- Custom shaders
- Physics and force calculations
- Custom UI framework which works in the game engine that I chose
None of the project is vibe-coded.
