Slime mold visualiser

A project I created to learn more about how shaders and working with the GPU works.

Millions of particles move across the screen following and avoiding other particles with a set of rules. A singe changes can change chaos into beautiful patterns.

Efficiency

The program is capable of calculating millions of agents at once due to the fact that it is ran in a shader, where the GPU can run countless calculations in parallel.

Patterns

Even miniscule changes can lead to drastic differences in the patterns that appear, leading to interesting visuals.

Customizability

The project has a whole host of sliders and settings the user can change, everything is in their hands.
