Research Simulation I was making a particle simulation program. And after a small code error, this creature was born!

Very cool. Do you remember what type of error you had? Is this a hierarchical method like fast multipole, but where you forgot to update what particle belongs in what group?

I think it's very interesting, it shows all sorts of emergent behavior, it has momentum, switches direction, reacts to its environment etc.

Thank you! I was making a particle based graph representation. And in stead of making a repulsive force between the particles I made an attractive one. And this happened!

I’m afraid of what it would do if it escaped!
