npm run serveto start up the Webpack server and launch the app ina live-reloading browser window.
Technologies used
- ThreeJS for WebGL conveniences like running custom shaders and managing uniforms.
- GLSL shaders for running the reaction-diffusion equation for every pixel of the screen and rendering.
- Vanilla ES6 JavaScript.
- @kchapelier's cellular-automata-rule-parser to convert human-friendly rule definition strings into normalized parametric objects that make driving the simulation simpler.
- Webpack build system with live-reloading dev server.
- Github Pages to serve the files.
