Lenia

Lenia is a 2D cellular automata with continuous space, time and states. It produces a huge variety of interesting life forms.

There are various versions available. Python, Matlab and web (JavaScript) versions are real-time, interactive, and equipped with statistics tools. Jupyter and R versions are non-interactive and just for demonstration purposes.
