surreal cellular automata

CellPond

CellPond is a slightly-surreal 'cellular automata' engine that I made for fun.

I've made three videos about it! Check them out:
🦠 Cells in Cells in Cells
🤖 Nothing
🔮 Spellular Automata

What's the big idea?

CellPond has 2 big ideas:
🐸 You can code it by dragging + dropping shapes.
🐸 Cells can split/merge cells into smaller/bigger cells.

How can I use it?

You can try it out at cellpond.cool
(sorry no touch controls yet)

Or, you can download the source code and open index.html in a browser.

How does it work? What do all the shapes do?

It's a secret.

Where's the diamond gone?

There used to be a diamond shape! It let you add/subtract/swap channels. But I rewrote a lot of stuff for the Spellular Automata video and it broke.

To add/subtract, use the new Hexagon shape instead. You can't swap yet but it's planned.
