If you don't mind me saying - poor naming and post title. This is much more interesting than the keyword phrases "particle simulator" and "physics" would suggest! Can you not cram something ALife related in there?

I don't know, I find the name pretty accurate – it is a particle simulator, after all.

This is pretty fun, I like it, will take a look at the code later today. > Finally, I am legally obliged to inform you of the one law of exophysics: > YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TERMINATE A SIMULATION IMMEDIATELY UPON FINDING > EVIDENCE OF THE EMERGENCE OF SENTIENT CREATURES CAPABLE OF SUFFERING. LOL, I had to google "law of exophysics" to see if it is real.
I mean.. arguably... if the sentient creatures have emerged then is it ethical to kill them?

#16Hey people, I built this particle simulator in ~500 lines of self-contained HTML/JS/WebGL2. It's designed to encourage creativity and exploration. You can just download one of those universes and open up the HTML file in a text editor to tweak the physical laws and constants. Then open it up in your browser to see the result immediately. I had a lot of fun exploring the beautiful emergent behaviors that arise from th…
I messed around with something similar a few years ago, based on (the code in) this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_zmZ23grXE
Edit: Apparently there are a lot of these! This variant is also pretty cool (smaller particles, more like "fields"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu5aDIEoBk0

I love the emphasis on user exploration. And your way of writing the documentation is very welcoming. Awesome tool.

Nice, this is really fun to play with!
