Pixel Cells — GPU-Accelerated Artificial Life Simulation

Pixel Cells is a GPU-accelerated artificial life simulation running on a 2D grid. Each pixel can host a cell with its own energy, genes, and behavior. Cells compete for space and energy, divide, mutate, and evolve over time.

Key Features

• Classic and Ecosystem models, with Ecosystem selected by default
• Configurable grid size (default 200×400) with cycled or bounded edges
• Gene matrices up to 15×15 in Classic and 60×30 in Ecosystem
• Ecosystem bodies specialize as collectors, weapons, defenders, or builders across 76 action codes
• Persistent nutrients, toxins, shade, and structures alongside transient sunlight
• Real-time cell inspector with live gene matrix view
• Cell import/export via JSON
• Debug overlays: sun, energy, cell borders
• Runtime parameter tuning while paused
