Interactive Simulation of Biologically-Inspired Cellular Growth System
By
dnmc
Good intentions, undercooked execution. The bake is missing.
Summary
This article describes an interactive simulation of a biologically-inspired cellular growth system. It begins with a single cell that can grow and split based on adjustable probability sliders. When cells split, they create new cells pointing in slightly different directions, with the maximum turn angle affecting growth patterns. The system demonstrates emergent behavior from simple rules.

· 4 pulledThis page simulates a biologically-inspired system with a few simple rules.
It begins with a single cell. Over time, cells repeatedly decide whether to grow and/or split.
The nearby sliders adjust the probability of each action occurring.
When a cell splits, it creates a new cell pointed in a slightly different direction.
