Bobo Vector Automaton
Deterministic particle motion simulator.
Launch the 2D editor →Also try the Orthographic 3D Viewer, the far superior Isometric 3D Viewer, or the 4D demo, which shows all four 3D shadows of a 4D system simultaneously.
It has more in common with Conway's Life than it does with a gravity sim. Particles are only influenced by the closest particle to them at the beginning of each turn. All positions, velocities, and accelerations are at all times integer values.
Two particle types
- nearest: receives an acceleration of -1, 0, or 1 in each of the x and y directions each turn, depending on its closest neighbor.
- bobo: does not move, only influences passing 'nearest' particles.
