Thousands of simple cells, each with its own random brain. They eat, hunt, stick together and evolve while you watch. Nothing is scripted. Here’s how it works.

Desktop build can run up to 1m+ particles. My RTX 3090 can run up to 328k particles at 60 fps (I need a new GPU)

Github is now live with the current web build! github.com/nvneik3d/Origin
GitHub - nvneik3d/Origin: Evolving cells with tiny brains, simulated live on the graphics card.

This is where origin started. @fraserpricee’s cellular automata project, running on a much larger scale, gave me the spark to build my own simulation.

Web browser can currently simulate up to 50,000 particles utilizing your CPU & GPU I'm working on a desktop app to sim upto 1m + particles Why? idk because cool

The dish: - Green dots are grazers. They eat the food that grows in the jelly - Hollow rings are hunters. They eat grazers - Colour shows family. Kids look like their parents, with small changes -Every cell has a tiny brain that decides where to move

The dish tells its own story as it goes: - Families rise and die out - Hunters crash, then new ones drift in - Summer and winter change how much food grows - A live feed shows what just happened, and you can jump to the spot

Want to see the big picture? - The timeline tracks population, body size and brain size - The family tree shows every line that ever lived and when it ended - Save any world, share its code, or take a picture or time-lapse

Claude and I have been working on a fun project the last few days. Meet our little digital petri dish!
