Show HN: Terra, a JS framework for cellular automata and biological simulations

  • I intent to use this on my planets in my game: http://54.77.31.219/ looking for this kind of stuff for some time. glad it appeared on hn (: thanks

  • I made a really simple l-systems lib if anyone is interested. If fits in the same general vein of natural-computing.

  • this is a background in this vein I did a while ago.

    It runs a lot slower than it could. Running it faster made it less appealing. (works on mobile)

  • It would be awesome if the 'examples' actually showed you how to get it going yourself. I don't see any sample HTML anywhere, and your main page's JavaScript is compressed.

  • Every so often, I sit down and begin making something like this. Then I get distracted and I forget about it for a while. This is really awesome!

  • This is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing, rileyjshaw.

  • Absolutely love this, Game of Life/Cellular Automaton never cease to amaze me even with such simplistic rules.

  • Riley, this is beautiful. The design, docs, colors, presentation--just fantastic. Awesome work! :)

  • This is awesome, lot of update via code :), thanks this can be use for my future references

  • That's really cool and a whole new world to discover via code - thanks!

  • Hey Riley, this is Damian from hackerschool. Nice work. I remember you showed a prototype of this project on one of the thursday presentations.

  • Love it! emergent complexity, pixels, and colors! I'm working on a similar project I want to show you if you make it to a Queens Hack Night this year :)
