Langton's Ant

A two-state Turing machine that flips tiles and forms chaotic highways.

Phyllotaxis Spiral

The golden-angle spiral pattern that plants use to arrange seeds and petals.

Recursive Maze Generator

Depth-first search carves out a perfect maze. Every cell reachable. No cycles.

Conway's Game of Life

Classic zero-player game that evolves patterns from simple rules.

Diffusion-Limited Aggregation

Thousands of wandering particles stick to a seed, forming lightning-like fractals.

Clifford Strange Attractor

A simple set of sine/cosine equations spawn intricate chaotic lace. Click regenerate for new parameters.

CRDT Text Buffer (4 Peers)

Edit any quadrant—edits propagate with simulated latency to mimic peer-to-peer syncing inspired by Evan Wallace's demo.

Network Messages

Recursive Flood Fill

Click to pour paint — watch the classic flood-fill algorithm ripple outward.

Bogosort "Stupid Sort"

Randomly shuffles until sorted — the most inefficient sort imaginable.

Brainfuck Runner

Esoteric eight-command language—step through to watch the tape evolve.

Bogobogosort

Recursively Bogosorts prefixes until sorted— factorials within factorials!

Sleep Sort

Each number naps for n × k milliseconds, then wakes in sorted order. Abuse of timers never looked nicer.

Pancake Sort Flipper

Flip stacks of pancakes so the biggest lands on the bottom in ever-smaller unsorted prefixes.

Befunge-93 Runner

2-D self-modifying esolang. Edit grid, then run or step.

SHA-256 Avalanche

Flip a single bit – see how wildly the hash changes.

Merkle Tree Builder

Hashes propagate upward forming a tamper-evident tree used in blockchains.

Lorenz Butterfly

Classic chaotic 3-D system projected onto 2-D — parameters adjustable.

Henon Map Heat-Map

Iterated 2-D map; brightness shows visitation count.

Chua's Circuit

Piece-wise linear oscillator produces double-scroll chaos.

Hilbert Curve Animator

Watch a space-filling curve fold into itself — perfect locality in a fractal path.

Buddhabrot Fractal

Random orbits through the Mandelbrot set reveal a ghostly Buddha-shaped density plot.
