Lenia
A continuous generalization of Conway's Game of Life that produces lifelike creatures.
How it works:
- Cells have continuous values (0-1) instead of alive/dead
- Neighborhood is a smooth ring kernel
- Growth function determines cell state changes
- Different parameters create different "species"
Controls:
- Click/drag – Add matter
- Presets – Known lifeforms
- Growth/Width – Adjust growth function
