This is a naive port of particle life.
Press Z to cycle through draw modes.

TODO:
- interface for changing the rules.
This is a koan more than anything, it needs more processing power than Pico-8 will give it - not suited to this environment. But still interesting to experiment with.
Tweak any of the numeric literals to alter behaviour.
The rule arguments determine the attraction/repulsion between two groups.

A port using https://github.com/jamesedge/pico8-physics might be interesting...
EDIT: i dont think it understands gravitational attraction between entities, only with the world.
