Particle Life
Emergent behavior from simple attraction rules. Each color attracts or repels every other color — complexity arises from simplicity.

Randomize
Re-rolls the rules within the current preset. Every species gets a fresh set of attractions and repulsions.
Symmetry
If red likes blue, blue likes red back. Creates crystals, cell membranes, and stable symbiotic clusters.
Chains
Each species chases the next and flees the previous, forming a ring. Creates spiraling predator-prey pursuit dynamics.
Orbits
Neighboring species attract, distant ones repel. Creates solar-system-like formations and spinning clusters.
