CellularVirus

About this project

This is a cellular automata which acts like a virus. Each Cell has energy and if the cells energy surpasses the growth start amount it starts to produce/grow engery (Growth amount). A cell can have a maximum of 100 energy. Excess energy is passed to the four direct neighbours. 

On top of that each cell also has a preferred direction which decides what much of the excess each neighbour gets. If a cell has 0 energy and receives energy from a neighbouring cell for the first time it inherits that direction with a slight random angle offset.

How to use the UI

On the right side the cellular automata runs all the time. Use the media controlls to pause, play and refresh it.  You can draw on the cells at any time. 

With the Virus tab opened you can set the state of a cell. Use the sliders to set the values of the cell. These are described in the section about the project.

Open the tab Resisting Wall to draw in cells that can't be effected by the virus and acts like a wall for the virus. Use it to make areas that are safe from the virus.
