VulkanAutomata VS alien

The pattern shown in the video was discovered, simulated and recorded using VulkanAutomata, an engine of my own design. At 1024x1024 resolution, I get ~560 FPS on my RX 6800XT GPU.

If you're up for something experimental, my VulkanAutomata project will push your GPU to the absolute limit.

This is a direct extension of Conway's Game of Life, simulated with VulkanAutomata on my GPU.

My project VulkanAutomata, uses a combination of Bash / C++ / Vulkan API / GLSL / FFMPEG to do GPU rendering and video exports, and it seems that we are using very similar methods, code formats and workflows!

It was made in my local WIP/development version of the VulkanAutomata engine. (The headless_engine branch has the best compatibility, but also has the most minimal functionality)

Just discovered this artificial life simulation tool and it looks so beautiful.

It's also Open Source: https://github.com/chrxh/alien

The project is open-source and can be found here: https://github.com/chrxh/alien

Source code and installer of the simulator: https://github.com/chrxh/alien

artificial life environment (alien-project.org) is worth checking out

the latest beta of ALIEN version 4.0 can be downloaded (or compiled) from https://github.com/chrxh/alien. It contains the following major changes:

I am not completely against the idea of getting into 3d graphics but maybe after I finish making some stuff I am interested in. For reference when I say 2d graphics I mean something which would look like this.

Here you find a Windows build of the version4 branch: https://alien-project.org/files/alien-v4-alpha6.zip (based on https://github.com/chrxh/alien/tree/version4).
