Particle Simulation

From local affinity to collective patterns

Grayscale particles attract similar neighbors, repel at short range and explore through a weak random walk.

A question for the model

Vary attraction, repulsion and random motion. Look for the boundary between dispersed particles, clusters and broader ordering.

Read the model

A decentralized particle model. Ordering depends on parameters and initial conditions; a global gradient is not guaranteed.

Agent simulation · Interactive

Agents attract, form bonds and sort through local interactions. Add obstacles and see whether order persists.

Ecosystem simulation · Interactive

Plankton grows, small fish feed and school, and larger fish hunt. Reproduction ties population change to food.
