Backstory
Inspired by Conway’s Game of Life, I set out to create my own simulation. Each round, a blob (a group of pixels of the same color) expands one pixel from its border by replacing one pixel of a randomly assigned edible blob. Every instance of the simulation evolves into different dynamic color patterns.
Illustrations
The images below were created by having predetermined starting positions and blobs that could not interact.
