Topic: 20 Liners - September 08 - Simulation

Conway's Game of Life, swarm intelligence, Simulation game, Robotics simulator - find somehing you like, fit it into 20 lines of JavaScript and enjoy the challenge

You are free to use any of the following libraries: Prototype/Scriptaculous, jQuery, Moo, Processing.js
However, they are not necessary to create a nice 20 liner if your creative.

Deadline is the 30th of September 2008. Have fun!

Cool topic. Will try to come up with something

Perhaps not the most interesting thing to watch but here's: Bacteria simulator which has nothing to do with biology ^^. Feel free to play around with the get parameters. 'food' is the amount of food (the green things), 'bacs' is the amount of initial bacteria (the smaller red things), bx and by are the starting coordinates for the initial patch of bacteria, 'r' determines the maximum distance between the bacteria when it splits. So ... the red things eat the green things and thus become gradually more red, when they are full, they reproduce and when they're hungry they become gradually fainter until they die and become these little gray dots. Green things diminish and ultimately disappear as they are being eaten. When a red thing divides into 2 bacteria both are half full and the new one appears up to r pixels away from the old one in a random direction.

Well, it seems like we have a winner! Too bad there weren't any other participants. But it is a very nice simulation, I like how you read the url params!
