From the README

A single-file, no-dependency browser simulation of Physarum polycephalum, the yellow slime mold that builds efficient transport networks with no brain at all.

A Korean guide follows the English one below.

A real slime mold once redrew the Tokyo rail map using nothing but oat flakes and simple chemistry. I wanted to see whether a few lines of agent rules could do the same on a map of Korea, and to have a lab where you can change each rule and watch the network rebuild itself.

Trails attract more agents, which lay more trail, so busy routes get stronger and unused ones fade away.
