An interactive Petri dish sim turns cell colors into mission-based gameplay
conitzer · x · 2026-07-22
A new interactive random Petri dish game now includes missions.
The screenshot shows a simulation with thousands of cells, a color slider, and goal badges such as:
- all red / green / blue / yellow / magenta / cyan
- perfect tie
- territorial (4)
- happy together
It reads like a playful cellular-automation demo with game-like objectives layered on top of the simulation.
