Particle Life Simulator

This is a basic simulation toy for particle life. The concept is based on the idea of generating complex behavior from simple rules.

Controls:

• Press G to show/hide UI
• Press S to save particle types
• Press C to clear particle types
• Press R to regenerate the sim
• Press T to toggle the trails
• Press Up/Down arrow keys to increase/decrease the particle count
• Press Right/Left arrow keys to increase/decrease the particle count
• Press Space to pause/play the sim
• Click on an area to pull nearby particle  to it

Notes/Info:

• In each simulation there are are a set number of particle types/species (these are indicated by their colour).
• Each particle type has 2 rules deciding how it interacts with all the particle types including itself:
  • A value that either attracts or repels the particle
  • 2 values which determine the minimum and maximum detection range of the particle

• You can control these values on the right panel
• On the left panel you can control values which affect the sim as a whole (speed, friction, particle count, particle type count)
• This is fairly unoptimised so I do advise being careful with the particle count slider
