🧬 WebCell

🚲 Introduction

WebCell is a browser-based artificial life simulation living under the digital microscope. Cells compete with limited resources, mutate randomly, and evolve influenced by environmental factors. The project offers a performant, interactive, real-time simulation experience.
Like the 'Thronglets' in the TV series 'Black Mirror' 😈

🧲 What is it?

WebCell simulates microorganisms dividing under resource constraints, undergoing random mutations, and evolving due to environmental pressures. It is built with an Entity-Component System (ECS) and WebGL for scalability and performance.

πŸ€– Technologies Used

  • WebGL
  • React
  • Entity-Component System (ECS)
  • JavaScript / TypeScript
  • What You Can Learn
  • Modeling complex systems with simple components
  • Efficient graphics processing with WebGL
  • Real-time simulation architecture
  • Mutation and evolution algorithms

πŸ”¨ Why I Built It

Artificial life is a powerful tool to understand complex systems and evolution. WebCell brings this concept into modern web technologies, creating an environment that encourages both learning and creativity.
