Looks nice but not like water. It keeps moving forever. A bucket of water would stand still after a few minutes. Edit: Seems to lack simulation of friction between water particles?

It does calm down, but never stills. But the ocean never stills, so I would still give this full credit/an A+

While very cool, what's not realistic is the liquid coming to a rest. Even 5+ minutes after resting my phone against the wall (to ensure no vibrations), there were still sizable currents.

I thought the same thing when looking at the ocean the other day. I found it very unrealistic that it was still moving about after all this time.

Really cool, I could pair it with some ocean or river noise from mynoise & it will be a nice things to have on a separate screen while working.

this is still my favorite. https://oimo.io/works/life/ That dev has a bunch of cool projects.

I would like to check later on if the rules for this "cellular automata" (if it is one) are documented and the fractal nature naturally concludes from it or whether the fractal was simply manually forced when you zoom a certain level.

The explainer is here: https://blog.oimo.io/2023/04/10/life-universe-en/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It may be some special water or water in special circumstances. Could it be that in space or low gravity water behaves more like this?

Nope, in space/low grav you would still have the friction between the water molecules. Additionally, in space/low grav the water would want to clump.

how about: it's a 2d simulation, not a slice through a 3d one, so you should probably not expect any intuition to apply? (Fun to watch, though!)

Hmm, just says Loading and not actually loading for me on my phone.

Hmmm. I feel guilty for seeing such a cool thing and asking for: Surface tension, viscosity, air bubbles, foam, loss of energy, 3D liquid (matching the depth of my phone), sound, momentum haptic feedback, and orientation appropriate light beams. Also, choice of water, beer, wine or whiskey. Exceedingly exceptionally cool things raise requests for far more features than they deliver!

They have a better demo for that
