Simple Particle Life simulation made in Rust. Showcases visually compelling emergent behavior. Maybe life is a only set of rules anyway...

I made this project after I got inspired by this great video by Tom Mohr.

• Interesting simulations:
  • Particle wrapping
  • High particle count
• Optimization:
  • World partitioning
  • Partially multithreaded (thanks to rayon crate)
  • Instanced rendering
• Customizability:
  • Runtime customizable settings
  • Setting presets save/load system
• Possibly more to come later!

10000 particles simulated at about 2ms / frame on Intel i5-12600K (16 threads)

Simply use the run command in the crate's directory. Don't forget about the --release flag, otherwise the performance will be much worse.

cargo run --release
