Watch as complex, life-like behaviours emerge from remarkably simple interactions between coloured particles. Each particle follows basic rules about how it attracts or repels other particle types, yet together they create patterns reminiscent of living organisms. Cell-like structures spontaneously form, move, and interact. Some configurations produce stable colonies, others create dynamic swirling patterns, and some generate chaotic but mesmerising behaviours. It's artificial life arising from nothing more than attraction and repulsion.
