Good scifi. Strong alien vibe. Reminds me of Dark City.
Tends to get spindley but maybe that's just my phone

Pleasingly wiggly :)
8690 with a non-zero flip probability has a fun little effect I call "whoomph"

8690 with a high flipProb, "stable explosion" preset, is like a fuse -
be patient and it 'explodes'.
Very fun!
(Edit: apparently the fuse can 'die off' but the thing still eventually explodes)

Feels like building proteins, or some kind of RNA/DNA molecules.

Very cool! Feels very alive

My quick investigation indicates that rule 2183 with a zero flipProb and the "fancy tentacles" is the most consistently able to generate penis-like images

Addendum: limit it to ~300 growthLimit to... manage expectations
And the preset doesn't matter - I thought it was a initial config that applies to any rule; it is a preset of the previous parameters instead

500 growthLimit for others…

This is awesome.
I'd love to see it with more than one type of stem cell and also some kind of apoptosis.

Reminds me of watching his idea of spacetime coming into existence.
