First update of my online webgpu particle life simulator: the number of particle types is now also randomized each time (from 2 to 16), leading to greater variety!

In a recent #SETILive, @dagomardegroot.bsky.social joined @planetarypan.bsky.social to discuss The Climate Chronicles podcast. The podcast focuses on the Earth’s climatic evolution, spanning 50 million years, to shed light on what history can teach us about today's climate crisis. 🧪

If one species emits a powerful enough chemical, its impact can ripple out across an entire ecosystem.

Some visual impressions after 11 days of non-stop simulation starting with a simple organism (to reproduce: run `Primordial Oceans/Initial` simulation from the in-game browser.).

🎉 Happy New Year to everyone 🎉
The development of ALIEN in 2024 was focused on lots of incremental improvements and smaller extensions.
Next year, however, there could be major changes to the core model that can no longer be addressed with successive minor updates.

The simulation parameter window is the heart of ALIEN. It has now been replaced by a much more potent version, enabling features such as naming, reordering, opening in a separate window, and cloning of parameter zones and radiation sources. A quick filter has also been added in v4.12 for navigation.
