How to Use
Watch two virtual chemicals react and diffuse to create organic patterns like animal stripes and spots. **Controls:** • Use sliders on the right panel to adjust equation parameters (f, k, dA, dB) - change gradually to avoid system collapse • Click "Pick parameter values from map" to open interactive parameter map - click anywhere to set f and k values • Choose seed patterns (circle, square, text, or upload image) to start the reaction • Click "Reset" to restart with selected pattern or "Clear" to empty canvas • Adjust rendering style to change how patterns are displayed **Advanced Features:** • Upload style map images to vary parameters based on pixel brightness • Use bias controls to weight diffusion in specific directions • Maximize canvas to fill screen or set custom dimensions • Export current state as image **Objective:** Explore different parameter combinations to discover unique emergent patterns and behaviors. Small parameter changes can create dramatically different visual results, from coral-like structures to maze patterns to spotted textures.
