Artificial life

Artificial life studies life by building it in a computer: simple rules that make creatures move, grow, divide and evolve. These tools let you watch it happen, from the gliders of the Game of Life and the creatures of Lenia and SmoothLife, to particles that build cells, flocks of boids, and populations that evolve by natural selection.

Below you can find all online tools with the tag: Artificial life

Game of Life

Game of Life

Create Conway's Game of Life simulations and animations.
3D Game of Life

3D Game of Life

Run Conway's Game of Life in a 3D grid of cubes, and rotate, zoom and fly through it in real time.
Generations Cellular Automaton

Generations Cellular Automaton

Simulate Brian's Brain, Star Wars and the other multi-state cellular automata, where cells fade through dying states.
Huegene

Huegene

Create images and animations inspired by huegene cellular automata.
Langton's Ant

Langton's Ant

Simulate Langton's ant and its multi-color variants, and download images and videos.

Turmite

Simulate turmites, the two-dimensional Turing machines, and download images and videos.
Lenia

Lenia

Simulate Lenia, the continuous cellular automaton with creatures that look alive, and download images and videos.
SmoothLife

SmoothLife

Simulate SmoothLife, the continuous Game of Life of smooth gliders, worms and oscillators, and download images and videos.
Particle Life

Particle Life

Watch colored particles that attract and repel each other organize into cells, worms and swarms that look alive.
3D Particle Life

3D Particle Life

Watch colored particles that attract and repel each other organize into 3D chains, worms and cells in a box.
Particle Lenia

Particle Lenia

Simulate Particle Lenia, the particle version of Lenia, where particles that lower their own energy build rotors and gliders.
Evolution Simulator

Evolution Simulator

Watch natural selection happen: creatures with genes for speed, size and senses compete for food and evolve.
Primordial Particle System

Primordial Particle System

Watch life-like cells emerge from particles that follow one simple turning rule, grow, release spores and divide.
Boids

Boids

Watch flocks of birds and schools of fish emerge from three simple rules: separation, alignment and cohesion.
