SocioLife – A Socio-Economic Artificial Life Sim That Runs in your Browser

Check out this amazing new artificial life simulation I have developed.

Click here to run it in your browser

(It’s graphics intensive so it’s best if you have a high performance modern computer like a multicore mac or pc.)

Turn the sound on to hear the alien soundscape (use the checkbox on the HUD)

Summary:

SocioLife evolves intelligent agents with DNA that evolve and interact, forming complex societies that then engage in economic, diplomatic, and military relations.… Read More “SocioLife – A Socio-Economic Artificial Life Sim That Runs in your Browser”

Introducing LACE – A New Kind of Cellular Automata

This article is about a new kind of simple computational rule (“LACE rules” running on LACE, the Link Automata Computing Engine platform) which, when applied locally on a grid of cells, demonstrates fascinating emergent “artificial life” behavior.

For readers familiar with the Game of Life (GOL), this is a next-level class of cellular automata that utilizes neighborhood topology — the state of the grid is a function of both cell states and their connectivity (links).… Read More “Introducing LACE – A New Kind of Cellular Automata”
