The thermo-mechanics is driven by a particle engine while the #ALife stuff is computed on top of it by an information transportation and action layer.
The behavior of the tiny machines results from the interaction of their building blocks.
This demo video was created to give you an overview of the state of development of the upcoming major version (still in progress!).
The already implemented features can be tried out here: github.com/chrxh/alien
The simulation tool has been renewed and should now be easy to use.
Ongoing development is mainly inspired by the feedback received, e.g. settings that include different spatial regions with different physical conditions (thanks @ThomasCabaret84).
Thanks also to @sableRaph for his lovely and fair critique in some of his past Creative Code News!
