Moonlight Pools

~ In moonlight, you finally see what the darkness was protecting you from. ~

Moonlight Pools is a Neural Cellular Automata visualization tool. From simple convolution and activation functions, intricate and mesmerizing patterns emerge - each run produces completely unique visions, never to be seen again.

Gaze into the reflections: change channels, choose activations, coax kernels and mutations. Each tweak casts a new spell, letting life and chaos unfold in shimmering light and colour.

The Pools are waiting... What will you see?

Features:

• Real Time In-Depth Controls: From activation function to individual kernel scale, Moonlight Pools puts the simulation entirely in your hands.
• Emergent Patterns: Witness the birth of spirals, mechanical shapes, and organic growth to summon endless unique behaviours.
• Mesmerizing Visuals: Watch the nature of digital nature unfold.

Keyboard Shortcuts:

[Space] - Start / Stop Simulation.

[R] - Randomize Seed and Weights.

[Shift+R] - Randomize Weights.

[M] - Mutate Weights

[E] - Enable Auto_Evolve

[X] - Toggle UI
