SIMULAI
a sandbox for simulation as creative play
WHAT
simulai is a workshop for tiny worlds. Drop in particles, set rules, watch what unfolds. Cellular automata, flocking birds, reaction-diffusion patterns, wobbly springs — computation as a toy you wind up and let go.
a small loud manifesto
algorithms can be playful. parameters can be silly. a slider that does nothing useful is still a delight. simulation is creative; the fun is the point.
HOW
Pick a rule. Sprinkle a few hundred dots. Render at sixty frames per second. The browser is the canvas, the GPU is the orchestra, and tiny WebGL fragments paint geometries you've never quite seen before. Every refresh is a new universe; every parameter tweak rewrites physics.
PLAY
A simulation is a small machine made of pretend. The pretend is the freedom — gravity can be sideways, time can run in zigzags, particles can fall in love. Build a world, break it, build it again. The button labelled "what if" is the only one that matters.
“the universe is a toy that takes itself seriously. we don't have to.”
