Experience the hidden world of particles Quantum is a real-time particle life sandbox for exploring emergent motion, artificial physics, and complex systems. Build fields with up to 10,000 particles, tune how classes attract or repel each other, and watch simple rules turn into flowing structures, swarms, or chaotic patterns. Why Quantum stands out: - Real-time particle simulation with four interacting particle classes. - Seamless 2D fields and perspective 3D volumes with touch rotation. - Rule editor for custom attraction and repulsion matrices. - Temperature, viscosity, solid/fluid edge behavior, and force tools. - Black hole and white hole tools for live interaction. - Save and load fields, rule sets, and color schemes. - P3 color support and vivid visual presets for generative art. Use Quantum as a physics toy, creative sandbox, teaching aid, or generative art lab. It is built for people who enjoy science, cellular automata, n-body systems, chaos, and beautiful simulations.
Evolution
Explore a 2D world where creatures evolve through natural selection. This simulator allows you to experiment with settings and observe how genomes influence adaptation. Witness the fascinating process of evolution in action.
- 2D natural selection simulation
- Neural network-powered creatures
- Genome-defined creature behavior
- Experiment with evolutionary settings
- Observe creature adaptation

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Quantum at Free against Evolution's $1.99. Evolution's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
