Awesome port, playing around with the 3D example now!

Steps to run (in Chrome):

  git clone https://github.com/craftlinks/Notebook

  cd Notebook/particle-lenia

  node --version
  # v24.3.0

  npm i

  npm run dev

  # 2D Example: http://localhost:5173

  # 3D Example: http://localhost:5173/gpu_test

This is nice.

Slackermanz created the discrete version of what would later become Lenia, called MNCA (Multiple Neighborhood Cellular Automata).

Particle Lenia is awesome. I did an online version that you can interact with here: https://brianberns.github.io/ParticleLenia/

Mesmerizing visuals! I wasn't familiar with Lenia.

It mentions that the visualization can be seen at the bottom of the post, but I only see the video and image gallery. I have WebGPU enabled in Chromium.

I wonder what alife running on exaflop computers could find.

This port of Particle Lenia was achieved using compute shaders within Three.js and the (still unofficial) Three.js Shading Language (TSL).
