Origin is a living dish of simple cells, each with its own tiny brain. They eat, move, divide and die. Nothing they do is scripted. Every behaviour you see, from families clumping into bodies to hunters chasing prey, comes from the rules plus evolution.
The picture above is about 300,000 cells running in real time on a single graphics card. Each colour is a family.
In your browser at origindish.net. Every visitor gets their own world, computed on their own device. Small worlds run on the processor. Large and Huge run on the graphics card.
